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.
q1 i? Beyond documented efficiency benefits (less conflict, self-regulation), the authors argue relational trust is a significant resource during major structural change, when ambiguity and social tensions would otherwise frustrate reform. → Bryk 1996

q1 · i? · theoretical · r2
Theoretical argument, not a tested result: established personal respect and trust allows genuine public conversation about tacit core principles, so that newly clarified principles become ethically compelling and individuals act in collectively desirable fashion.
"In catalyzing such productive action, social trust constitutes a moral resource to the organization."
