Source design and template applicability

CMTO housing-search services are randomly assigned. The high-opportunity lease-up contrast is experimental and its confidential household inputs are not deposited.

No DiD estimates, uncertainty intervals or homogeneity-test decision were computed in this tranche. No point is added to the calibration plots. This is not a zero effect or a failed statistical test.

Recorded treatment-column measurement

Data unavailable.

Confidential CMTO participant-level assignment/analysis records are not deposited; only code and aggregate artifacts are present.

These are the existing data-measured counts, not counts inferred from design labels. A binary instrument, group indicator or interaction component need not be the treatment of interest; the source-design assessment above takes precedence for template applicability.

Replication status

This tranche: unsupported design; source code/documentation inspected, no estimator run.

Supplied library: no_did_analysis_data; verification: no scalar DiD target; preparation: needs_restricted_data. These are the library’s labels, not new verification claims. Missing data and unsupported designs are separate issues.

Evidence and provenance

The following files in the supplied library were inspected. Their SHA-256 digests are recorded in the downloadable assessment JSON. Source archives and microdata are not redistributed.
