Typical Workflow

1. Choose inputs

Define hypotheses, outcomes, factors, levels, and admissibility constraints.

2. Instantiate core objects

Build a Study specification, including run budgets, replication policy, and agent/problem bindings.

3. Execute or inspect

Materialize conditions, execute runs, and monitor checkpointed progress. In interactive terminals, run execution shows a tqdm progress bar by default.

4. Capture artifacts

Export canonical artifacts (study manifest, conditions, runs, events, evaluations) for downstream analysis.

5. Connect to the next library

Use design-research-agents for participant behavior, use design-research-problems for task definitions, and analyze outputs with design-research-analysis.

Why This Workflow Is Different

This workflow is about experimental control, not only batch execution. The value is methodological: explicit admissibility, reproducible run construction, and traceable artifact contracts across the ecosystem.
