[PhilippBach]

Thanks for contributing to the Digital Causality Lab!

Please provide information on the following four points in your case study description. Based on your description, participants of the Digital Causality Lab (DCL) can develop their own data product which will be shared via the DCL.

1. Description of the Case Study

Students could create an introduction/ tutorial to the idea of the target trial that attempts to emulate an experiment with observational data. A nice, maybe stylized example could be interesting

2. Idea for the data product

The result could be a nice slideshow, a notebook or a small animation/video.

3. Available resources and references
