Paste your draft question, mark the FINER and SMART criteria yourself, and review the structural flags below. This is a check of structure only, wording, length, whether it reads as one answerable question, never a judgment of your question’s substantive quality (feasibility, interest, ethics, relevance). No version of this tool rewrites your question or suggests replacement phrasing; flags are reflective questions for you to consider, not corrections.
This is a structural check, not a judgment of your research idea. A flag means "worth looking at closely," never "wrong."
Questions about this tool
What does the health check assess?
Whether a research question is specific, answerable and properly scoped: the properties that decide whether months of work are pointed at something tractable.
Does it use AI to judge my question?
No. It is a structured, deterministic check that runs in your browser. The judgment about your question stays yours.
Is this tool free?
Yes. It is part of the research-literacy layer of Bizarus, which stays free permanently. No account, no sign-up, no usage limit.
Does anything I type leave my browser?
No. The tool runs entirely in your browser. Nothing you type is sent to a server or stored after you close the page.
A good question is the cheapest thing to get right.
The workspace builds one with you across five frameworks — including SPIDER, PEO and SPICE, which the clinical tools mostly do not offer — then turns it into search strings and carries it through to synthesis.
