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? In iteration 3, when teams partnered with start-up-phase entrepreneurs, industry partners' percentage ratings of student conduct were the highest of the three iterations on 7 of 10 items (lower on consulting about the business model, knowledge of customers and explaining customer-analysis techniques), while innovation-usefulness ratings were highest on only 3 of 10 items; the authors say it is difficult to tell whether outcomes came from the interventions or external factors. → van den Berg 2024

Post-test industry survey (30 questions, six-point Likert) in iteration 3 with teams working with entrepreneurs including a hair salon, fashion designer, recruitment agency, guest house, quantity surveyor and winemaker; Table 9 gives percentages by iteration, with no statistical test: iteration 3 is highest on 7 of the 10 conduct items (e.g. teamwork to implement a solution 83% vs 58% and 69%) but lower than an earlier iteration on three (e.g. consulting on the business model 78% vs 81%), and highest on only 3 of the 10 usefulness items (e.g. "It helps me be more effective" 78% vs 86% in iteration 2). The authors note "it is difficult to gauge whether the positive and negative outcomes were a result of the interventions, or other, external factors."

"There was an overall improvement in the results obtained from the industry in the third iteration on the conduct of teams. In their engagement with entrepreneurs, the teams were better able to sell the benefits of the digital economy, according to the findings from the last section."
