❝ Adding to what ElMaestro said my two cents: Maybe you can point out (in a polite way I’m not an expert in) that if one increases the sample size sooner or later any study will show a significant difference if the ratio is not exactly (!) 1. See this post. I don’t know your CV and sample size, but the sponsor cannot be blamed to have performed a study in “too” many subjects (I would avoid the term overpowered).


In turns out the client and assessor haven't mentioned anything specific about the CI not overlapping with unity. What the client focused on was the F-test for treatment effect (which, I guess, comes into play if the study was overpowered). I'll take a look at the assumptions in the sample size estimation and take it from there. Thanks for the lead.
