SPICE Application

Apply the SPICE framework — suitable for evaluation research.

HARD-GATE

Input must contain: a clear evaluation research intent (assessing the effect of an intervention / program / service).

Pipeline

1. Precheck: Confirm the research is suitable for the SPICE framework
2. S (Setting): Define the research setting
3. P (Perspective): Define the evaluation perspective (whose perspective?)
4. I (Intervention): Define the intervention / program being evaluated
5. C (Comparison): Define the comparison object
6. E (Evaluation): Define the evaluation metrics and methods
7. Assembly: Assemble the components into a complete RQ sentence
8. Output: SPICE fill-in table + RQ statement

Output Format

S: [research setting]
P: [evaluation perspective]
I: [intervention being evaluated]
C: [comparison object]
E: [evaluation metrics and methods]

RQ: "In [S], from [P]'s perspective, how does [I] compare to [C] in terms of [E]?"
