§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.
What task significance predicts
| Outcome | r | k | N | Grade | Confidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Work Engagement | +0.51 | 1 | 5,870 | B | single study |
