abstract: 'A prototype implementation of the pre-data recovery test: a standardized
  simulation protocol for evaluating whether a planned design-analysis pair can recover
  its target estimand before data collection. Researchers declare the estimand, data-generating
  assumptions, data strategy, missing-data process, and analysis strategy; the package
  simulates a crossed scenario grid (null and target effects, each under declared
  and pessimistically perturbed nuisance assumptions), applies the planned analysis
  to each simulated dataset, and reports target-null rejection, power, target bias
  with its exact decomposition into estimator bias and estimand drift, coverage, Type
  S and Type M errors, precision, and classified model failure, each with Monte Carlo
  uncertainty and explicit inclusion rules. A versioned threshold profile converts
  the diagnosands into a PASS/RISK/FAIL verdict - a decision convention, not a validity
  classification. Built on the ''DeclareDesign'' framework.'
