HYvonne,

❝ So as what I understand, you need to calculate your sample size in the second stage with an alpha < 0.0294 to control alpha inflation. But how far should we decrease (most likely dependent on the CV in the first stage) and is it accepted to decrease alpha in stage 2 (and thus deviate from potvin method C)?

You can with quite some likelihood pick any alpha you like at the second stage as long as your qualify (simulations!) that the overall alpha stays at or below 0.05. It comes down to the specific numbers you have.
