q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q2 i? Agentic assessment systems are reported to reduce grading time by 50–70% while achieving 90–95% agreement with human graders. → Simon Baradziej 2026

q2 · i? · review · r3
The review's synthesis of the automated assessment literature (12 studies) reports "grading time reductions of 50–70%" and 90–95% human-grader agreement across multiple studies. These are reported percentages without printed effect sizes or test statistics.
"These capabilities have produced re - ported grading time reductions of 50–70%, with AI graders demon - strating 90–95% agreement with human graders across multiple studies."
