Analysis

The Neutral-0-Method is an assessment method used to evaluate the influence or impact of an intervention or variable on a specific condition or outcome. This method focuses on measuring effects without allowing the assessment to be influenced by subjective opinions or emotional biases.

Objective

The main goal of the Neutral-0-Method is to provide an objective and neutral evaluation by minimizing biases and personal judgments that could affect the results. It is used in research and clinical practice to ensure that the assessment is as accurate and reliable as possible.

Calibration

The method is typically applied through the following process:
A reference point or neutral state is defined and used as a baseline for measurement. This point does not affect the outcome and serves as a comparison point.
The parameters affected by the intervention or variable are measured in relation to the neutral point. This process includes collecting data under various conditions or groups.
The data are compared with the neutral point to assess the impact of the intervention or variable. Depending on the analysis methods, the results may be used to draw conclusions about the effectiveness or impact.
