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? · associational · r1
Neural embedding-based BERTopic topic modeling over the university-wide policy corpus; Appendix A lists ten extracted topics including GenAI use in courses and academic integrity, data privacy and compliance, and procurement and approved tools.
"The key themes are included as part of the Appendix A and can be summarized into three main categories: 1) usage and education, 2) technology and tools, and 3) governance and potential risks."
