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? Within each of the nine categories, tools are listed from most frequently used to least frequently used based on the number of educators reporting use. → Matt Bower 2026

q2 · i? · associational · r1
Methodological description of the typology's organization from the Introduction: ranking derives from educator-reported usage counts in the 211-response survey, and categorization reflects "the primary or most common use case for each tool rather than exclusive capabilities". Descriptive only; no effect sizes.
"Within each category, tools are listed from most frequently used to least frequently used based on the number of educators who reported using them."
