What is "improved outcome" and how are you measuring it?
I like that regression thing too like we could ask everyone who they were in past lives and see if they sort themselves out by historical era like do all the Cleopatras and Egyptians mostly post to each other and are all the admin regulars 18th century rationalists or the psych board 19th century romantics etc etc etc
I'm glad you're feeling sparklier :)

If dependent variables are not quantified yet, then they will need to be coded. I think that this would be a real boon to the literature. I don't know how to write up a case report (unless it's my own, in which case I'd say psychobabble is a good thing)
