24,000 rated or chosen profiles from 800 respondents, in up to 15 tasks of 2 profiles varying on 10 attributes.
| Description | UK adults (n=800, Prolific, April 2023) chose between pairs of hypothetical welfare schemes varying payment size, income tax, other funding, effects on poverty, inequality, life expectancy and anxiety/depression, and work, income and citizenship conditions; 15 tasks x 2 profiles. |

| Randomization restrictions | yes (stated by the source): payment size is one of 9 fixed child/adult/pensioner bundles (child <= adult <= pensioner) and income tax one of 7 fixed basic/higher/additional bundles; designs ruled out a priori; other attributes drawn independently |
| Task order | recorded in the deposit |
| Profile position | recorded in the deposit |
Because the attribute levels were not randomized independently, an estimator has to account for the restriction; a plain difference in means across levels can mislead.
