- Who is the Randomised Trials in Development poster for?
- Randomised Trials in Development belongs to the Economics section rather than to a school year, because business is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning development can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.
- When should you use the Randomised Trials in Development poster?
- They answer whether a specific intervention worked in a specific place. Generalising is a separate argument. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Randomised Trials in Development belongs on the wall where that business work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.

- Randomised Trials in Development is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download.
