However, the report calls t(G-1) 'conservative', which overstates it: it is a common small-sample choice, not a guaranteed conservative one. CR2/wild bootstrap were not computed. This is disclosed and does not change the decision.",9 "suggested_fix": "Describe t(G-1) as a standard small-sample reference rather than as conservative."10 },11 {12 "id": "R2",13 "severity": "minor",14 "location": "out/claims.json C4; results.json:icc_hat",15 "issue": "The ICC comes from one-way ANOVA moments on OLS residuals with no adjustment for the estimated treatment coefficient. The resulting bias is negligible here. C4 already notes the estimate is imprecise, but no interval is given for it.",16 "suggested_fix": "Optionally add a CI for the ICC (or note it is descriptive only, as the report does)."17 }18 ],19 "summary": "Re-running analysis.py on a scratch copy reproduced results.json exactly, so the script is deterministic. Every required key is present and computed legitimately from data/schools.csv only. tau_hat is the OLS coefficient. se_iid is the naive baseline. se_cluster is a school-clustered CR1 SE, and the p-value and CI come from t(39). The counts match the data: 1000 rows, 40 schools of 25 students, 20 treated, no exclusions. The non-significance claim (p=0.195, CI [-0.51, 2.44]) follows from the numbers and carries an appropriate caveat that failing to reject is not evidence of no effect. The SE ratio (2.58) matches sqrt of the ICC-implied design effect (6.64). The limitations are stated honestly. Only minor wording and ICC-precision points remain."20}21
