FOR THE ROOM

The workshop page

The participant-facing read. Written so somebody who has never heard of this study can follow it on their own.

• 4 findings, told as a sequence a facilitator can walk
• A guess-first exercise before the results are revealed
• English by default, with a Thai toggle
• Plain statements on every chart, no research jargon, no statistics

One Excel workbook, 91 KB. Everything behind both pages, so any number on either can be checked or re-derived.

• Every item response for all 35 + 27 participants, raw and un-reversed
• A codebook: construct, referent, scale, reverse flag, Thai wording as fielded
• Scale scores with reverse-scoring already applied
• All 429 written answers, and the screening decision for every row including the ones dropped

The briefing and the dataset are internal. It carries verbatim written answers from the survey, candid notes on what does not hold up, and every response as it was written. Participants are renumbered and no platform ids are carried across, but this is still IRB data. Do not put either on a screen in front of participants and do not send either to a client. The workshop page is the one that goes in the room.

This address is unlisted and carries a no-index instruction, so it will not appear in search results, but anyone holding the link can open it. Treat the link as the key. Both pages are generated from the response export and are replaced in place whenever the analysis is re-run.
