@auzdavenice @ingorohlfing I share Alex' perspective here. For example, look at this one, a qualitative, observational study without hypotheses: https://osf.io/ns2z6/overview We just say what we expect to observe. You always have _some_ idea, otherwise you wouldn't engage in an exercise (at least not with public funds hopefully 😬), and the prereg is just describing what you know/plan/expect in advance. This may not be common in some area's, but it's possible everywhere, including e.g. law I think.

    @auzdavenice @ingorohlfing (Come to think of it - the statistical framing that is often used when discussing preregistration probably does more harm than good)
