This is personally very exciting for me, as I see a lot of potential for cross-pollination across the development and meta-research worlds

It is impossible to say whether or not an intervention works if we cannot measure it effectively. If the measures are broken, then the process may be fatally flawed. https://t.co/dGmg21qcM7
