How many master patients are there for each unique scenario?

• A. One master patient
• B. One
• C. Two
• D. Many

Answer: (B)

Each unique scenario uses a single master patient to serve as the canonical reference. This keeps all data, measurements, and interventions anchored to one consistent subject so results are reproducible and comparable across runs. If there were more than one master patient for the same scenario, you’d introduce variation that makes replication and fair comparison harder, since different subjects could drift in ways that aren’t tied to the scenario design. With exactly one master patient, the scenario’s dynamics come from the planned events and interventions, not from having multiple baseline subjects. So, there is one master patient for each unique scenario.
