# Separate planned procedure from actual pilot exposure

Illustrative planning brief; no automatic product import.

Synthetic planning case: A pilot protocol says every proof receives independent review. In five invented cases, A,B,C follow it, D is reviewed jointly and E receives no second review.

## Decision

Only three of five cases have the planned independent-review exposure. Keep D and E as documented deviations instead of reporting all five as a faithful protocol test.

## Owned work

- Freeze the intended procedure
  - Owner role: Pilot owner
  - Acceptance evidence: Independent review is defined before the cases are evaluated.
- Record actual exposure
  - Owner role: Recorder
  - Acceptance evidence: Joint and absent reviews retain their distinct deviation reasons.
- Bound the pilot finding
  - Owner role: Method reviewer
  - Acceptance evidence: Claims about the planned procedure distinguish as-planned and deviating cases.

## Workflow

1. Freeze the intended procedure. Check: Independent review is defined before the cases are evaluated.
2. Record actual exposure. Check: Joint and absent reviews retain their distinct deviation reasons.
3. Bound the pilot finding. Check: Claims about the planned procedure distinguish as-planned and deviating cases.

## Judgment

The protocol and records are synthetic. Outcome evidence and a justified analysis plan remain separate.


## Filled manual planning note

Only three of five cases have the planned independent-review exposure. Keep D and E as documented deviations instead of reporting all five as a faithful protocol test. As-planned exposure is 3/5; deviations are 2/5. That is protocol-adherence description, not an outcome or success percentage. The protocol and records are synthetic. Outcome evidence and a justified analysis plan remain separate.


## Working artifact

- As-planned cases / A,B,C had independent exposure / Recheck if evidence is incomplete
- Joint-review deviation / D had a different procedure / Retain actual exposure and reason
- Missing-review deviation / E had no second review / Do not count as tested independent-review exposure


## Workflow questions

### Must deviating cases disappear?

No. Retain them with their actual exposure and use an appropriate stated interpretation.

### Does 3/5 prove independent review is ineffective?

No. It describes procedure adherence, not the effect or quality of that procedure.

## Product connection

Use the owned checks and downloaded brief to discuss this planning decision alongside your TeamBoostAI tasks. Confirm available fields, roles and account features separately. The example is manual; it does not calculate live analytics, create work or run an experiment in the product.

Confirm account availability before adopting this manual outline.

## Original worked case

Synthetic records, manual planning only. No account import or live analytics.

### Inspect the invented case records

Case | Planned exposure | Actual exposure | Treatment
--- | --- | --- | ---
A | Independent review | Independent | As planned
B | Independent review | Independent | As planned
C | Independent review | Independent | As planned
D | Independent review | Joint discussion | Deviation
E | Independent review | No second review | Deviation

### Reasoning

As-planned exposure is 3/5; deviations are 2/5. That is protocol-adherence description, not an outcome or success percentage.

### Bounded result

Only three of five cases have the planned independent-review exposure. Keep D and E as documented deviations instead of reporting all five as a faithful protocol test.

### Distinct decision

The decision audits planned versus delivered exposure, rather than attributing a result to multiple simultaneous changes.

### Limits

The protocol and records are synthetic. Outcome evidence and a justified analysis plan remain separate.
