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.

How it’s measured operationally

Beyond survey measurement, this construct is also tracked as an operational metric from records:

§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.
