Seeded permuted-block allocation demo

Generate a reproducible balanced two-group sequence for teaching allocation mechanics.

Your entries stay in this page’s memory and are not submitted to us. Downloads are generated locally. Reloading or leaving the page clears your entries. Do not enter patient information.

Total must be 2–200 and a multiple of an even block size from 2 to 20. Seed is an integer from zero to 1,000,000,000. Use synthetic exercises only.

The starting values are hypothetical. Results update as you edit. Use aggregate or synthetic inputs only.

Predictable educational sequence; not operational trial randomization.

How to interpret the output

Each fixed-size block contains equal A and B assignments, shuffled by Fisher–Yates with a seeded pseudorandom generator. Fixed block sizes can reveal assignments and this generator is predictable. It is not suitable for operational trial allocation or concealment; use an independently governed validated randomization service.
