ICT Ep 2.13: The Hidden Complexity of Trial Feasibility

A patient in a database is not a patient in a trial. So why do we keep treating feasibility like a headcount?Fresh from a week deep in feasibility work, Liam introduces four characters who show up and cause chaos in almost every feasibility process. There's Spreadsheet Larry, who confuses a number with a truth. The EMR Oracle, who offers psychological safety dressed up as data. Prevalence Pete, who chases the sexiest percentage instead of the biggest addressable population. And Motivation Mabel, the patient who technically qualifies but simply isn't interested.Together in this episode, Liam and Ted make the case that real feasibility isn't about being right it's about being useful. Understanding the conversion funnel, knowing how confident you actually are in your data, and recognizing that patients are humans driven by trust.
