Group labels reviewed
Needs review
Siftome proposed case and control labels, but no reviewer confirmation is stored yet.
Open the sample grouping CSV and confirm group labels before analysis.
Minimum sample count met
Blocked
At least one group has fewer than 2 samples.
Choose a larger dataset or merge only scientifically valid groups.
Processed counts available
Ready
Processed data availability is marked true in the GEO index.
Verify that downloaded processed files contain usable count or expression identifiers.
Ambiguous samples handled
Ready
No review-needed or unassigned samples are present in the proposed grouping.
Still scan the grouping table for biology-specific ambiguity.
Exclusion decisions recorded
Ready
No hard-excluded samples were detected by the current rules.
Record any manual exclusions in the downstream analysis notes.
Source links preserved
Ready
The dataset and sample accessions can be linked back to GEO.
Keep GEO dataset and sample links with exported metadata.
Bioinformatician Review
Bioinformatician review required
Ask a bioinformatician to review grouping, count availability, exclusions, and design before DE.
Analysis readiness has blockers that must be resolved before DE.
At least one comparison group has fewer than two samples.

overall34%
Weighted score: 30% relevance, 30% comparison suitability, 25% metadata quality, 15% data availability. Overall score capped because comparison suitability is weak for the selected search intent. Overall score capped because fewer than six samples are too small for top-ranked cohort confidence. Overall score capped because tumor/normal grouping is from a non-colorectal cancer context.
