Uninformative prior. This prior is uninformative — too thin to dominate small-N posteriors. Treat as a placeholder until more evidence lands.

Historical evidence. This prior's contributing evidence is older than 15 years on average (centroid year 2005, ≈21 years old); treat the estimate as historical.

Intervals

Confidence interval (95%) — uncertainty about the mean ρ
[-0.51, -0.10]
Credibility interval (95%) — distribution of the true effect across settings (the Bayesian prior)
— needs ≥2 studies to estimate (k = 1)
I² (heterogeneity) — share of total variance from between-study differences
— needs ≥2 studies to estimate

k<2 — between-study heterogeneity not estimable; credibility interval / generalization not assessed

Evidence provenance

published ρ=-0.32 (k=1, replication: single); no primary-deployment evidence yet

Sourceρ (r)Scope
Published literature-0.32k = 1 · N = 50

No primary-deployment evidence yet — this prior rests on published literature alone. As anonymized, aggregated effect sizes from real deployments are contributed, they appear here as a distinct, publication-bias-free source, fused with the literature into a posterior estimate.
