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.
q2 i? Participants consistently received usability and engagement feedback but little direct privacy feedback, making deferral sustainable. → Meghna Manoj Nair 2026

q2 · i? · qualitative · r3
Interview finding from the Results section of this qualitative study. P6 described sandbox testing where most feedback came as usability ratings, and P2 observed little end-user pushback about data value.
"Participants consistently received usability, engagement, and learning-outcome feedback, but little direct privacy feedback."
