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? Discourse distribution shifted toward higher-level practices: ST-1 and ST-2 percentages decreased while ST-3 and ST-4 rose across the three phases. → Dina Soliman 2026

Descriptive analysis of 469 Knowledge Forum notes coded with the four-level systems thinking framework (kappa = 0.83). The article reports that discourse 'shifted toward higher -level practices' with ST-3 rising from 13.28% to 47.47%.
"Descriptive analysis shows that the distribution of discourse shifted toward higher -level practices: ST-1 decreased from 28.04% to 8.08% and ST-2 from 50.92% to 29.29%, while ST-3 rose from 13.28% to 47.47% and ST-4 from 7.75% to 15.15% (Table 5)."
