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.
q3 i? For the test units 'Letter sounds short' and 'Word sounds short', the Grouped Dashboard partition significantly outperformed the List Dashboard partition and the control partition, while there was no significant difference between partitions for the other seven test units, including all numeracy tests. → Sun 2026

q3 · i? · causal · r2
Kruskal–Wallis H tests compared summative assessment scores across the three partitions for 68,666 learners from 4,155 schools. Significant partition differences emerged only for two literacy test units, with the Grouped Dashboard partition scoring highest.
"For the test unit “Letter sounds short”, the Grouped Dashboard partition significantly outperformed the List Dashboard partition (p <.001) and the control partition. The same was true for the test unit “Word sounds short”."
