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.
q2 i? Pre-institute, most participants expressed tentative optimism about AI (mean 3.22/5) while over three-quarters rated their AI knowledge as None or Basic (mean 1.89/6). → John Chick 2026

q2 · i? · qualitative · r2
Pre-institute survey of ten participants (Tables 3 and 4). The article reports 77.8% described their knowledge as "None" or "Basic" and no participants rated themselves Advanced or Expert; these are descriptive means with no inferential test.
"The overall mean score was 3.22 on a five-point Likert scale, indicating that participants generally viewed AI as holding potential, though with notable uncertainty"
