Diana Price "scientifically" involved in unveiling the "false" Shakspere… but…
…not in searching for the "true" Shakespeare. - Inexcusable!
Both problems belong intrinsicly together.... and should be answered together!
....She didn't dare to imagine the unimaginable: that a multiplicity of contemporary poet names were pseudonyms or pennames of the single "true" Shakespeare. (e.g Wither , Cary , May, Davenant Sylvester, Drayton, Beaumont , Fletcher , Heywood , Shakspeere , Massinger...)

Diana Price, author of the book "Shakespeare’s Unorthodox Biography: New Evidence of an Authorship Problem", gave a lecture (s.video) on the occasion of the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare of Stratford’s death , at the Berkeley Street Theatre in Toronto.
Historically the Shakespeare authorship problem clearly proceeded in 2 separate steps.-The first step intended to resolve the doubt whether William Shakspere from Stratford was identical with William Shakespeare (Author of Hamlet). Since a final solution of the first step has never been reached, the academic scientific community never felt obliged to proceed to the second step researching the actual question:” Who did it, [if not William of Stratford].?
Only a minor community of intellectuals, sceptics, scholars (Anti-stratfordians) entered the second stage. One of todays best known „Anti-stratfordian“ scholars is Diana Price. Her research adds to longstanding conclusions that William Shakspere of Stratford by no means can have been identical with William Shakespeare, the creator of Hamlet. -
Interestingly Price has never aligned herself with any one other possible candidate, even though she got this far into the authorship issue. She nevertheless did never privilege one candidate over another.
Her website tells that she has been invited to all "Oxfordian" conferences, but she doesn’t go because she does‘ t want to be perceived as favoring one particular candidate over another . She generally doesn’t take questions on the case for or against Oxford, or Bacon, or any of them. When she is asked , „Was it Shakespeare or was it Oxford?" she frames the question differently "Was it Shakespeare or was it not Shakespeare?"
That is very remarkable.- One wonders.....
How can Diana Prize expect that a yet unknown poet can be discovered from oblivion? the answer to the first stage seems easy (considerung the immense collective efforts done ) compared to the answer of the second stage. –

why at her absolute certainty of the first stage (that William of Stratford was not the creator of Hamlet) , she never felt the need to enter the second stage?

The problem is not the "false William" but the "true"!
