Sets up the systems that randomly assign trial patients to drug or placebo and send the right medicine kits to each hospital.
Builds the settings for a new trial's randomization system: how many patients per group, which kits go to which countries and when to resupply. You test it until it works perfectly, then handle calls when a site can't assign a patient. Mistakes could break the blinding of a whole trial.
