The conflict is disclosed in data_issues, in report.md and in claim C4, but the per-reference record, which is the main estimand, does not show it.",9 "suggested_fix": "Add to the R1 note that the SE is printed in Table 6 but differs in Table A19 (0.218), and extend the locator to cover Table A19."10 },11 {12 "id": "R2",13 "severity": "minor",14 "location": "results.json: data_issues[3] (R4 own-wage SE)",15 "issue": "The suggestion that the own-wage SE should be about 0.249 (0.091/0.366) treats affected wages as fixed. Affected wages are estimated with their own SE (0.171), so a ratio SE cannot be pinned down from the extract. The text hedges ('may be'), but the implied benchmark is heuristic.",16 "suggested_fix": "Describe the observation as 'SE identical to the affected-employment SE, which is unusual for a ratio estimate' and drop the specific 0.249 benchmark, or label it explicitly as a naive scaling."17 },18 {19 "id": "R3",20 "severity": "minor",21 "location": "out/analysis.py: check_R1..check_R5",22 "issue": "The finding checks are hand-coded string and threshold tests for each reference (e.g. R3 counts as a 'jump' only if |tau0| >= 0.034, and design/population elements are substring matches). The checks are transparent and print the cells they use, but they encode the analyst's own split of each citation into elements, not a general procedure. This is acceptable here but should be stated as such.",23 "suggested_fix": "Note in the Method section that the element decomposition and pass criteria are manual judgements, written into the code for transparency."24 }25 ],26 "summary": "Re-running analysis.py on a scratch copy reproduces results.json exactly. All required keys are present and correctly typed. n_input_rows matches wc -l, and the extract SHA-256 values match README. The code reads only data/ and uses no external information. I checked each reference against the extracts myself. R3 fails all three checks: the title differs; the year 2024 matches neither the v1 nor the v2 year (both 2026); and the 3.4–3.7% effect appears at tau=4–5, not in the entry year (tau=0 is 0.005, and the source says 'prices do not jump immediately'). R1, R2, R4 and R5 have matching titles and admissible years, and every cited number is printed in the cited table or text (R4's year 2025 is the v1 year). The source-internal inconsistencies (R1 SE 0.210 vs 0.218, 608 vs 640 control regions, 35% vs ~30% fatal, R4 SE) are disclosed, and treating them as not invalidating the citations is defensible. A header-only baseline is reported. The remaining issues are minor and concern presentation only."27}28
