Is it suitable for grant applications?

Absolutely. It includes specialized modules for evaluating research significance, feasibility, and the alignment of methodology with proposed research aims.

Can this skill handle specific reporting guidelines?

Yes, it evaluates compliance with major discipline-specific standards such as CONSORT for clinical trials, PRISMA for systematic reviews, and STROBE for observational studies.

Does it help with statistical validation?

The skill assesses the appropriateness of statistical tests, power calculations, effect sizes, and the handling of missing data to ensure methodological rigor.

Can it generate visual aids for my review reports?

Yes, it integrates with the scientific-schematics skill to create publication-quality diagrams, decision trees, and workflow flowcharts for the review process.
