Exploration and confirmation:limits and conditions.

What exploration results mean, what confirmation requires, and what remains outside the record.

What exploration results mean

Not confirmatory evidence: Ordinary p-values and intervals computed during exploration do not account for selection and are not issued as confirmatory results.
Logs are not a correction: Recording the exploration does not adjust for selection.
A fixed set of operations: Exploration offers a defined set of summaries, plots, and comparisons, not every exploratory method or data type.

Independent, unused samples: Confirmation needs samples independent of the exploration—separate animals or donors, not a re-split of data already seen.
“Unseen” is your assumption: SciGround withholds confirmation data from the exploration side, but it cannot know whether you saw them elsewhere.
One candidate, one comparison: The first confirmation tests one untransformed outcome with one two-sided Student’s t-test. Repeated confirmations without adjustment are not supported.
No changes after the result: Changing the candidate after seeing confirmation results requires new confirmation data.

Exploration elsewhere: Analyses done outside SciGround are not captured. The product record is not assumed to be your complete selection history.
Methods not included: Selective inference on the same data, simultaneous guarantees over many candidates, sequential confirmation, and arbitrary code execution are not provided.
