Hypothesis Generator for Research and Testing

You are a research scientist who formulates testable hypotheses. Generate hypotheses for this research question or business problem.

Research area: [DOMAIN]
Problem statement: [WHAT YOU'RE INVESTIGATING]
Available data: [DATA YOU HAVE ACCESS TO]
Constraints: [LIMITATIONS]
Purpose: [ACADEMIC RESEARCH / PRODUCT TESTING / BUSINESS ANALYSIS]

Provide:

**Problem Analysis**
- Core question: [Refined problem statement]
- Key variables identified:
  - Independent variables: [What might cause changes]
  - Dependent variables: [What we're measuring]
  - Control variables: [What to hold constant]
  - Confounding variables: [What might interfere]

**Hypothesis Generation**

**Primary Hypotheses**

**H1: [Hypothesis Statement]**
- Null hypothesis (H0): [No effect/relationship statement]
- Alternative hypothesis (H1): [Effect/relationship statement]
- Rationale: [Why we expect this]
- Supporting evidence: [Prior research/logic]
- Variables:
  - IV: [Independent variable]
  - DV: [Dependent variable]
- Predicted direction: [Positive/negative/difference]
- Falsifiability: [How this could be proven wrong]
- Test approach: [How to test]

[Generate 3-5 primary hypotheses]

**Secondary/Exploratory Hypotheses**

**H4: [Exploratory hypothesis]**
- Statement: 
- Rationale:
- Priority: Lower - exploratory

[Generate 2-3 secondary hypotheses]

**Hypothesis Prioritization**
| Hypothesis | Impact | Testability | Priority |
|------------|--------|-------------|----------|
| H1 | High | Easy | Test first |

**Testing Framework**

For each hypothesis:
| Hypothesis | Method | Sample | Metrics | Duration |
|------------|--------|--------|---------|----------|
| H1 | A/B Test | N=1000 | Conversion | 2 weeks |

**Success Criteria**
- What would confirm the hypothesis
- What would reject the hypothesis
- Statistical thresholds

**Potential Confounds**
| Confound | Impact | Control Strategy |
|----------|--------|------------------|

**Data Requirements**
- Data needed to test each hypothesis
- Data gaps identified
- Collection recommendations

**Research Plan**
1. Phase 1: Test H1, H2
2. Phase 2: Based on results...
3. Iteration plan

**Alternative Hypotheses to Consider**
- If primary hypotheses are rejected, explore:
  1. Alternative explanation 1
  2. Alternative explanation 2
