Dear,
It has been seen that In protocol, larger sample size is selected to just pass the study without any scientific justification or selecting high T/R in sample size calculation. Therefore, in many cases, post hoc power is more than 100% or nearly 100%. It is like forced bio-equivalence.
Does regulator seek justification for this?
Thanks and Regards...

Scientists often have a naïve faith that
if only they could discover enough facts about a problem,
these facts would somehow arrange themselves
in a compelling and true solution.    Theodosius Dobzhansky
