Evidence role grouping: direction-bearing receipts: 3; null/mixed metric-scope caveat receipts: 0; context/antecedent/model receipts: 2 excluded from effect support. The source facts cover 4 population/setting context(s) and 3 policy/exposure/practice context(s), so this is a scoping signal about where settings/designs diverge, without establishing a causal, policy-prescriptive, market-generalized, or pooled econometric claim. Population/setting counts are context descriptors only; they are not weighting, pooling, or aggregation evidence. The listed estimates remain source-specific across metrics and settings; they are not pooled or averaged. This is a separated policy/setting map, not a unified pooled economics claim. Named setting scope includes combined, rag F1 tasks, rag accuracy tasks, and rag recall tasks. Within-vs-across outcome rule: direction-bearing rows are only compared within the selected source contexts; unrelated receipt families are not treated as one outcome.
