| Q1 |
Data source and sample definition |
The dataset, competition level, sample source, and analytical unit are clearly reported. |
Some information is provided, but one or more key details, such as competition level, sample size, or analytical unit, are incomplete. |
The data source or sample cannot be identified. |
| Q2 |
Spatial or spatiotemporal inputs |
The spatial or spatiotemporal inputs used in the model or analytical procedure are clearly defined. |
Inputs are named or implied, but definitions, measurement procedures, or input construction details are incomplete. |
Inputs are not reported or cannot be identified. |
| Q3 |
Model structure and assumptions |
The model structure, analytical workflow, and main assumptions are clearly described. |
The modeling approach is described generally, but key steps or assumptions are incomplete. |
The model structure or assumptions are not reported. |
| Q4 |
Definition of model-derived outputs |
The model-derived outputs or indicators are clearly defined, including operational definitions or calculation procedures where relevant. |
Outputs are named, but their meaning, calculation, or operational definition is incomplete. |
Model-derived outputs are not clearly defined. |
| Q5 |
Validation or performance checks |
Validation procedures, model performance checks, sensitivity checks, or relevant diagnostic information are clearly reported. |
Validation or performance checking is mentioned, but procedures or metrics are incomplete. |
No validation or performance check is reported. |
| Q6 |
Practical interpretation and limitations |
The practical or tactical interpretation of the model output is explained, and limitations or interpretive boundaries are discussed. |
Interpretation or limitations are mentioned, but the link to tactical meaning or model constraints is incomplete. |
Practical interpretation and limitations are not reported. |
