Hypothesis Quality Checklist

Run this quick checklist to catch common problems before you move to design and data collection. Honest fails are useful — they show what to fix.

Hypothesis title (link to your draft)

Reference the draft you are checking.

Is the hypothesis falsifiable?

Can you imagine a specific observation that would disprove it?

Is the prediction specific and measurable?

Includes metric, units, and timing.

Are independent/dependent/control variables defined?

Names and how to measure them.

Is there a pre-specified success/failure rule?

E.g., threshold or statistical test defined in advance.

Are key assumptions and boundaries listed?

Does the team recognize constraints and external factors?

Have major bias or confounding risks been identified?

Consider selection, instrument, and analyst bias.

Any ethical or safety issues requiring review?

If yes, list required approvals elsewhere.

Reviewer notes and suggested fixes
