Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
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.
q1 i? In the first year of the project, Mathematica applied a designed method to identify effective schools for a 99-school charter consortium spanning 18 states and the District of Columbia. → Kevin Booker 2008
