Apply BASIE through four key steps: selecting prior evidence, reporting estimates, interpreting estimates, and sensitivity analyses¶

Strategy · All strategies
Evidence · no claims cited

Description¶

The guide prescribes a workflow for applying BASIE when interpreting evaluation findings. As the abstract states, it "walks researchers through the key steps of applying BASIE, including selecting prior evidence, reporting impact estimates, interpreting impact estimates, and conducting sensitivity analyses." Each step is elaborated in the guide so researchers can implement the framework in practice.

Design Implications¶
