Predicted psychometrics. These 10 items carry a design grade of A (avg design score 94/100) from the item-design model — an estimate pending calibration, not a measured reliability. Real responses (via deployment) sharpen it toward measured, which is what the licensing model collects.

What the field already uses — named and cited, not reproduced (item wording is copyrighted and withheld pending clearance).

§3The math on what we know

Synthesized priors from the live registry: pooled r, studies (k), total N, top study grade, and heterogeneity. Rows flagged for heterogeneity or single-study evidence are directional, not settled — read them as a central tendency.
