Current revision. This is the snapshot used by the live entity page.

unreviewed

Added a six-claim evidence mapping and a sourced lesson; the impact now carries the study's maintenance-phase increase (934 steps) and median engagement (74 days) beside the headline 1,579, which is the part that says how long the effect lasted.

Known limits of this passport
  • Publisher names and source languages have not yet been classified; domains are recorded without guessing.
  • Existing source notes are descriptive locators, not page- or paragraph-exact citations.
  • A missing archive, publication date or content hash is shown as null rather than inferred.
  • The project-level evidence grade ranks the strongest source in the entry; it is not a truth score for every claim.
