# Statistical Completeness for Results Reports

A report may summarize statistics, but it must not silently weaken them.

## Always carry forward
- sample size / seed count
- metric direction
- descriptive statistics
- uncertainty estimate
- test choice
- effect size
- correction rule when relevant
- evidence boundary

## Never do this in the report
- upgrade a trend to a conclusion
- omit the sample size
- replace effect size with adjectives like “large” without numbers
- cite a figure without saying what the uncertainty represents
