Intervention experiment card

Use this before trying a product, supplement, food, sleep, behavior, topical, legal cannabis product, or tracking change.

Do not include names, photos, addresses, clinician names, account details, or product receipts unless you need them for your own private record.

One-variable rule

Try to change one thing at a time when possible. If several things changed, write them down so the result is not over-read.

  • Not sure

Active thing and quality reality

• Active ingredient, physical feature, dose, route, form, serving, or device metric:
• Quality proof I can see:
• Batch, testing, expiration, storage, or standardization issue:
• Reasons this exact product matters:
• Reasons a generic version would be enough:

Fit check

• Current state:
• Medication context:
• Lab or monitoring context:
• Skin, gut, sleep, mood, glucose, bleeding, impairment, legal, or travel issue:
• Clinician question:

Tracking signal

Choose one primary signal:

• Serum urate trend
• Flare frequency
• Pain
• Heat, swelling, stiffness, or touch sensitivity
• Sleep
• Rebound
• Rescue-plan use

Baseline before starting:

Log

Decision at review point

• Continue unchanged
• Revise the experiment
• Stop or step back
• Bring to clinician
• Reject as noise or not worth it

Why:

Stop or step-back signal

• Stop now:
• Step back:
• No useful signal by:
• Clinician question:

Claude prompt

Help me build a de-identified gout intervention experiment card. Ask one question at a time. Do not ask for names, photos, addresses, clinician names, account details, or receipts. Make me name the job, gout rung, evidence tier, active thing, quality reality, fit check, tracking signal, review point, and stop or step-back signal. End with a one-variable experiment card and warn me if the claim outruns the evidence. Do not recommend medication changes.
