To enhance consequentiality, the survey told participants that their responses would be shared with Durham mayor Leonardo Williams, policymakers and local law enforcement to inform future decisions.
“To enhance consequentiality, the survey told participants that their responses would be shared with Durham mayor Leonardo Williams, policymakers and local law enforcement to inform future decisions (Bishop et al., 2017).”

The ECONOMIC VALUE, TESTS OF CONSISTENCY section (page unavailable) explains that respondents see a survey as consequential when they believe their choices may influence a policy decision. It also says the authors emphasized their study’s importance for policymaking, but it does not say responses were shared with Durham’s mayor, policymakers, or law enforcement. (LLM, conf=0.83)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredTo mitigate concerns about hypothetical bias, budget neglect, and sample validity, we follow best practices from both the CV and survey experiment literatures.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
