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.
q2 i? Among 30 randomly sampled disagreement cases evaluated by blinded educators, educators more frequently prefer CLARA estimates over publisher recommendations, and many disagreements involve abilities publisher labels may underrepresent. → Sijing Yin 2026

q2 · i? · design · r2
Analysis of disagreement cases (Table 9) using 30 randomly sampled stories evaluated by blinded educators. The article reports "educators more frequently prefer CLARA developmental estimates over pub- lisher recommendations", with 61% preferring CLARA, 19% preferring publisher, and 20% judging both reasonable.
"educators more frequently prefer CLARA developmental estimates over pub- lisher recommendations. Many disagreement cases involve abstract reasoning, emotional nuance, or social understanding that publisher labels may un- derrepresent."

Related Claims¶
- CLARA annotations align with blinded educator judgments, with 0.81 pairwise agreement and highest-rated educational interpretability — related
- Structured developmental annotation (CLARA) achieves stronger alignment with developmental references than readability-based and direct prompting baselines — related
- CLARA achieves the highest agreement with blinded human developmental ranking judgments compared with readability and prompting baselines — related
- CLARA's gains come from the interaction of structured representation, constrained annotation, and aggregation, not prompt engineering alone — related
- Students who experienced annotation subjectivity firsthand most frequently requested ways to reduce disagreement, indicating they had not internalised disagreement as meaningful signal — related
