I have created an app for fun, but I hope it is helpful to researchers.

I have developed an R package called multiverseRCT,
It lets you:
- Apply multiple preprocessing methods
- Fit multiple model specifications
- Visualise the variation in treatment effects across the multiverse
- Quantify the sensitivity of conclusions to analytic decisions
