Wow, I would have thought more than half. Does your search include terms broader than "pre-analysis plan"? I prefer to call mine "analysis plans" because "plan" implies it's before the analysis :)

Agree. But I find these tools best when you can feed them lots of background info, written in your own voice. For grant proposals on new projects, these inputs don't yet exist, so the risk of slop is high.
