الملخص	A pilot factorial experiment is a small-scale, preliminary study that employs a factorial structure to simultaneously vary two or more factors across a limited number of experimental units. Its purpose is not to deliver definitive conclusions but to estimate effect sizes, within-group variance, and factor interactions, and to test logistical feasibility before committing resources to a full-scale factorial experiment. It is widely used in behavioral sciences, engineering, agriculture, and clinical research as an essential planning step.	A randomized controlled trial (RCT) is the gold standard experimental design in clinical and health research, in which participants are randomly allocated to a treatment group or a control group so that the effect of an intervention can be measured with the highest possible degree of internal validity. The modern parallel-group RCT was formalized by Austin Bradford Hill and the Medical Research Council in their landmark streptomycin trial of 1948, and its reporting is governed today by the CONSORT 2010 guidelines (Schulz et al., 2010).	Response Surface Methodology is a collection of statistical and mathematical techniques for building an empirical second-order polynomial model that relates a continuous response variable to two or more controllable input factors, and then locating the factor settings that optimize that response. The approach was introduced by George E. P. Box and K. B. Wilson in their landmark 1951 paper and has since become a cornerstone of process optimization across engineering, chemistry, food science, and pharmaceutics.
