Questionnaire skip-logic test
=============================

StatMedAnalysis | Original downloadable worksheet | 6 November 2026

Check that branching rules preserve valid and structurally missing responses.

How to use this worksheet
Enumerate each trigger response and the questions it should show or skip. Create
synthetic cases for every branch, including unanswered and contradictory triggers. Check
exported values as well as the visible form. Keep structural not-applicable codes
separate from unanswered displayed questions.

Save a working copy and keep the original blank version. Use public, hypothetical or
aggregate information only; do not enter patient identifiers, credentials or confidential
records. Keep source evidence in your approved project workspace. Mark unresolved text
fields UNKNOWN or NOT REPORTED with a reason; never substitute zero for an unknown count.

Hypothetical worked case
A fictional form asks pregnancy follow-up only after an eligible trigger response.
Hidden fields should not export an apparent negative answer; the export needs a
distinguishable not-applicable value.

Decision rule and limitations
Release the form only when each reachable branch and its exported coding match the
specification. A visually hidden field may still contain stale values, so inspect the
saved export.
