Counterbalancing & Randomization Planner
Create reproducible participant schedules, inspect positional balance, and export an assignment plan before data collection begins.
1
Choose a design
Select the structure that matches how participants experience conditions.
2
Define the study
Enter one condition per line and choose the planned sample size.
Between 2 and 12 unique conditions.
Reuse the same seed to reproduce an identical plan.

Balance diagnostics
Position balancedEach condition appears equally often in every position.
How to complete the cycle
Change conditions only when the research question supports it. Otherwise, keep the near-balanced plan, recruit as evenly as possible, and report the sequence counts.
