The reports below are complete rendered audits. Open a report to explore the figures, filter diagnostics, inspect denominators and export table rows.

Report What to look for
Balanced synthetic discussion Distributed participation and complete recording, under an illustrative policy
Concentrated synthetic discussion One participant takes the recorded participant turns, while opinions move and knowledge does not improve
Incomplete synthetic recording Missing recording coverage prevents a complete-session silence verdict
Real data: distortions, paired respondents Item-specific learning, opinion change, response coverage and H/P/D across polls
Real data: available-wave sensitivity How results differ when each wave uses all observed respondents

Synthetic statements, participants and annotations are invented. The policy thresholds demonstrate software behavior; they are not a validated standard for judging deliberation. The real data supply surveys and group labels, so the report leaves transcript and briefing diagnostics unavailable.

Reproduce the reports

From the development repository, with deliberately installed:

Rscript inst/examples/gallery.R ../dp-data

This writes standalone HTML reports and audit R objects to artifacts/gallery. The real-data import reads the frozen polardata.tab and attitude-indices.tab benchmarks from dp-data, under evidence/benchmarks/. The bundled source manifest pins their revision and hashes. Source files are hashed; exact duplicate removal and endpoint rounding are logged. No participant data are bundled with this package.

The documentation website serves only aggregate HTML reports. The saved R objects retain evidence and identifiers and belong in the research workspace.

Read a report in order

Start with the findings and plots, then check response and recording coverage. Use the diagnostic explorer to inspect an event, item, subgroup or method. Read its denominator and assumptions before interpreting the estimate. Policy verdicts follow the declared rules; missing inputs never create a PASS.

A large opinion change can coexist with poor process evidence, and almost no opinion change can coexist with thoughtful discussion. Read participation, argument consideration and learning together rather than treating movement as a success criterion. The design review explains the limits of each claim and the evidence needed to support stronger conclusions.
