# Inclusion Criteria Design SOP
Define rigorous inclusion and exclusion criteria for study selection, ensuring reproducibility and minimizing selection bias.
## When to Use
- After PICO formulation is complete
- Before beginning systematic search
- When refining scope after pilot search reveals too many/few results
## Input
- `pico_framework`: The structured PICO/PECO output from pico-formulation
- `study_types`: Acceptable study designs (RCT, cohort, case-control, cross-sectional, etc.)
## Output
Complete eligibility criteria document with decision rules for borderline cases, suitable for independent screening by multiple reviewers.
