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.

Evidence¶
Nyamboga TO 2026¶
Nyamboga TO (2026) From digital transformation to intelligent classrooms: artificial intelligence, adaptive leadership, and service delivery in global higher education—a systematic literature review. Front. Educ. 11:1899369. https://doi.org/10.3389/feduc.2026.1899369
q2 · i? · review · r3
Thematic synthesis finding across the 155 included studies; the review's GRADE-adapted assessment assigns high certainty to infrastructure readiness, citing consistent evidence that ICT infrastructure, data systems, and connectivity determine AI scalability. The synthesis states that "Digital infrastructure readiness determines the scalability and effectiveness of AI systems."
"Digital infrastructure readiness determines the scalability and effectiveness of AI systems."
