Data and Ethics Statement

Pre-specification

Protocols and statistical analysis plans will be published before data collection begins.

In Year 1 the scientific advisor acts strictly independently. Assay protocols and the statistical analysis plan are pre-specified before data collection, video scoring is blinded, and the advisor reviews the final analysis.

Open protocols

Protocols are intended to be published on a public registry so that they can be cited and checked. [PLACEHOLDER — CONFIRM WITH CLIENT: registry (for example OSF or Zenodo) and timing]

Honest reporting

Programme status labels on this site reflect the actual stage of each programme. We do not describe planned work as completed.

Illustrative graphics are labelled: “Illustrative visualisation. Not field data.”

Temperature thresholds are provisional until confirmed against the published literature.

Research data from pilot facilities
