# Research question builder

Assemble research questions from PICO, PICOT, PEO, or SPIDER terms with template variants, a Boolean search string, and a FINER checklist.

Fill at least one framework element to assemble the question.

The question variants are fixed sentence skeletons, not AI: read them once and edit for grammar, and the bracketed placeholders show exactly which elements you left blank. Comparison, time frame, design, and research type stay out of the Boolean string on purpose, because those words over-restrict searches in databases like PubMed or ERIC; apply them as screening filters instead. FINER is a self-assessment checklist, not a score, and nothing here searches a database; the string is for you to paste into one.
