Subclaims¶

q2 i? Industry-targeted videos scored 0.32 points higher on personalization depth B1 than generic-audience videos (3.97 vs. 3.65); a mixed model with a reviewer random intercept estimated the increment at 0.25 (95% CI[−0.06, 0.56], p = 0.11). → Romain Puech 2026

q2 · i? · design · r2

Comparison of industry-targeted versus generic-audience videos within the 92-video expert rating study, analyzed with a mixed model including a reviewer random intercept. The article reports the raw B1 difference of 0.32 points and the modeled increment of 0.25 with p = 0.11.

"Industry-targeted videos score 0.32 points higher on B1 (3.97 vs. 3.65). A mixed model with a reviewer random intercept estimates that increment at 0.25 (95% CI[−0.06,0.56],𝑝=0.11)."
