The statement is a reasonable reading of the CI width (SE 0.73), but it is not computed.", "suggested_fix": "Either report an approximate power or MDE (e.g. about 2.8*se_cluster ≈ 2.0 points for 80% power), or rephrase as 'the CI is too wide to rule out effects of about 1–2 points'."},4 {"id": "R2", "severity": "minor", "location": "out/results.json: df_cluster / out/report.md (Method)", "issue": "Inference uses t(G−1)=39 df. For a cluster-level regressor with an intercept, G−2=38 is also commonly used. The report says the choice barely matters, which is plausible (p≈0.195 vs Welch 0.201), but the G−2 result is not reported.", "suggested_fix": "Optionally report the G−2 p-value or the CR2/Bell-McCaffrey result as a sensitivity check."},5 {"id": "R3", "severity": "minor", "location": "out/claims.json C4", "issue": "Calling sqrt(design effect) 'consistent' with the SE ratio is descriptive only. The ICC has no reported uncertainty, though the caveat says so.", "suggested_fix": "None required. Optionally add a CI for the ICC."}6 ],7 "summary": "analysis.py reproduces results.json exactly and deterministically from data/schools.csv only. All required keys are present. I independently checked the counts (1000 rows, 40 schools of 25 students, 20 treated) and the school-means SE (0.738). The design-valid inference (CR1 clustered by school, t with 39 df, plus a school-means Welch cross-check) fits the task. The naive iid baseline is reported. The claims match the numbers and carry appropriate caveats, including that failing to reject is not evidence of no effect. Only minor presentational issues remain."}8
