How RCTMinds works
The 10-section workflow
Each section is its own AI-assisted accordion. Outputs flow forward — your PICO informs sample-size; sample-size informs analysis plan; everything assembles into a SPIRIT synopsis.

Subtype coverage
16 RCT subtypes — all covered
From standard parallel-group trials to N-of-1 designs. Every subtype gets its own design guidance, CONSORT extension mapping, and sample-size formulas.
Basic
4 designsStandard Parallel
Two arms, randomized, classic comparison.
Superiority
Test that intervention beats control.
Equivalence
Show treatments are clinically indistinguishable.
Non-Inferiority
Demonstrate not worse than standard care.
Factorial
4 designsFactorial 2 × 2
Two interventions, two levels each.
Factorial 2 × 3
Two interventions, asymmetric levels.
Factorial 3 × 3
Three-by-three full design.
Fractional Factorial
Subset of cells for efficiency.
Crossover
4 designsTwo-Period
AB / BA simple crossover.
Three-Period
Three sequences, balanced.
Four-Period
Higher-order with carryover control.
Latin Square
Each treatment in each position.
Specialized
4 designsStepped Wedge Cluster
Sequential rollout across clusters.
Basket Trial
One intervention, multiple diseases.
Umbrella Trial
Multiple interventions, one disease.
N-of-1 Trial
Single-patient multi-period trial.
Compliance
Built on the standards
your reviewers expect
Your protocol is scored against every applicable standard in real time.
Why this matters
Sample size,
but with a second opinion
Other tools
Give you a number. That's it.
If the AI hallucinates — wrong effect-size assumption, dropped allocation ratio, or a formula meant for a parallel design applied to a crossover — you don't know until your ethics committee or supervisor catches it.
RCTMinds
AI suggests. Verifier cross-checks.
A deterministic verifier (Cohen's d for parallel, ICMR-aligned formulas for cluster and crossover) re-computes the number independently. If AI and verifier disagree, we flag it before you commit.
- Deterministic, not stochastic — same inputs, same answer.
- ICMR-aligned formulas for Indian regulatory pathways.
- Disagreement flagged with explainer for both methods.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Common questions from researchers, supervisors, and IEC reviewers.
Can I use this for ICMR-funded research?
Yes. Sample-size formulas align with ICMR norms; reporting standards include SPIRIT 2025 which ICMR accepts. The platform also supports the CONSORT extensions ICMR reviewers commonly reference.
Is the sample-size calculation accurate?
AI proposes, a deterministic verifier cross-checks. Cohen's d for parallel designs; ICMR-aligned formulas for cluster, crossover, and stepped-wedge. Disagreements are flagged with explainers for both methods before you commit to a number.
Will my ethics committee accept the synopsis?
Output is SPIRIT 2025 compliant. Indian and international ethics committees recognise the format. You retain full editorial control — every line is editable before export.
Can I edit the AI output?
Every section is editable. The AI drafts; you decide what ships. Edits propagate downstream — change your PICO and the question, hypothesis, and sample size all re-evaluate.
What if I run out of Mindful Tokens mid-month?
Top up any time with Boost (₹149), Lab (₹349), or Project (₹699) packs. Top-up tokens never expire while you remain subscribed.
Do you store my research data?
Your study details stay in your account. We never train models on your data. PII is redacted before any AI call. Exports are yours to keep even after subscription ends.
Can I import an existing protocol?
Yes. Paste any synopsis text and the tool extracts PICO, hypothesis, and sample-size context to continue from where you left off — no re-typing.
What export formats are supported?
DOCX, PDF, and Markdown. All exports preserve SPIRIT structure and formatting for direct ethics-committee submission.
Is there a free trial?
7-day money-back guarantee on any plan. Free reference guides at /flow-minds/ require no signup if you just want to browse the methodology content.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes — cancel from Settings. Access continues to the end of the paid period. No questions asked, no retention calls.
