Agreed on all points. An important consideration is heavily involving group leaders and organisers in this process to preserve the qualitative aspects of ‘what works’ in outreach. Keeping those involved with implementing the methods engaged throughout the research process is vital for ensuring these methods transfer into the real world. Whilst some of the nuances are inevitably going to be lost through large-scale testing, we can counteract this by knowing where to allow room for flexibility and where rigidity is worthwhile.
