Morphology

well-conducted = conduct (transparent) = well + conduct + ed

The adjective is transparently built from 'well' + past-participial 'conducted' (conduct + -ed) meaning 'conducted in a good way'. [Postprocessing: moved 'well' from base_words to prefix]

Etymology

Well-conducted joins well ('in a good way') and conduct ('to lead' or 'manage'), the same idea you see in conductor. Think of an orchestra: when the conductor leads clearly the music runs smoothly, so a well-conducted experiment or meeting is led and organized properly.
