No nonlinear specification was estimated, and the scatter does not clearly show a plateau: high-income points mostly sit around or above the line. This is a visual impression stated as an observation.",9 "suggested_fix": "Either soften it to 'possible curvature, not tested' or add a simple quadratic or spline check and report the result."10 },11 {12 "id": "R2",13 "severity": "minor",14 "location": "results.json data_issues (West Bank and Gaza)",15 "issue": "The handling text points to the leave-5-out Cook's-distance sensitivity, but PSE is not among the five countries dropped (NGA, GRL, TCD, SLB, GUY).

All required keys are present and correctly computed. The code follows the information rules: it filters aggregates via region, selects the year by rule (2023 with 197 complete countries out of 217), excludes 20 countries with missing GDP without imputation, uses the natural log, reads only data/, and reads 'NA' safely (Namibia). Counts add up (2349 to 1953 to 217 to 197; table groups sum to 197). HC3 is stated and the CI is consistent with it, and the conclusion follows the rule. The mean-only baseline is reported. Limitations are substantive. Only minor wording and traceability issues remain."34}35
