title: 'trialdiff: Clinical Trial Data-Cut Change Detection and Impact Assessment'
version: 0.2.0
abstract: A transparent, rule-based framework for detecting changes between successive
  data cuts of clinical trial datasets, classifying those changes into clinically
  meaningful categories, tracing user-defined data lineage, and assessing which downstream
  analyses and outputs may be affected. The package is designed to complement existing
  low-level data frame comparison tools by adding clinical-trial-specific classification,
  lineage and impact-assessment layers on top of deterministic comparison. The rule-based
  classification is similar in spirit to the data validation infrastructure of van
  der Loo and de Jonge (2021) <https://doi.org/10.18637/jss.v097.i10>.
