Steps of running a Study

  1. Create inactive Study during TaskRun launch, set its total_available_places = None. (Mephisto will create all required units with created status.)
  2. Update Study with generated completion_codes (we need Study.id for it).
  3. Publish the Study on Prolific.
  4. When Mephisto launches a new Unit, increase total_available_places in Prolific Study.
  5. When a Unit is expired (i.e. completed or returned), Mephisto launches another Unit.
  6. When all Units are expired, the Study is considered completed.
  7. The results are reviewed by a user. (All currently active EPGs are dynamically changed, based on workers' updated custom qualifications.)
