Proposed Research Evaluation Measures
If a focused research pilot is agreed with an institution, CS Cancer Solutions proposes evaluating it with the measures below. These are evaluation criteria that would be defined and agreed in writing for each pilot. No results are shown on this page because no pilot has yet been completed and measured.
Source coverage within the agreed scope
The share of relevant public sources — registries, literature, and public institutional sources — identified and included in the pilot's evidence base, measured against the scope agreed in writing for that pilot.
Citation accuracy
The share of delivered summaries whose source links, dates, and attribution statements are correct when checked during the pilot's review step.
Time to locate evidence
How long pilot participants take to find relevant evidence within the organized summaries, compared with locating the same evidence across unorganized public sources.
Reviewer workload
The effort required by the participating research team to review delivered materials, recorded to understand whether the proposed formats are practical.
Usefulness reported by pilot participants
Structured feedback collected from pilot participants at the end of a pilot about whether the deliverables were useful for the agreed research question.
What this page is not
CS Cancer Solutions is a public-source oncology research platform. It does not measure patient outcomes, survival rates, safety incidents, clinic throughput, staff-to-patient ratios, or patient satisfaction, and it is not a healthcare performance, quality-reporting, or accreditation system. These measures concern only the quality and usefulness of research deliverables produced during a pilot.
