Your starting prompt.

Plan a bounded factor study for [engineering question] using [factors and levels] within [run budget]. Explain a suitable design, randomization or blocking needs, interactions it can assess and effects it cannot separate. Include the response definition, run order proposal and invalid-run handling. State sample-size limitations and required specialist review. Do not claim a design has enough power without defensible assumptions or execute equipment controls.

Copy this starting point, then replace the placeholders with your own inputs.

Method and review

Keep the assumptions visible.

Specify units, calibration, baselines and the experimental method. Check measurement quality and uncertainty before extending a result beyond the observed conditions.

For this task, check

A specialist should confirm estimability, operating safety and adequacy of the run budget before execution.

This starting prompt has no published worked example yet. Begin with a small sample and check the calculations before relying on the result.

Before you begin

  • Explicit feasible factor levels and run budget
  • Qualified experiment-design and safety review

Work with permitted files or queryable data. Verify the result against the original records.

Take the next step

Make it your investigation.
