RENDERING AS AUDIT · PUBLIC DEMONSTRATION

Compare-view as audit instrument

Interactive demonstration accompanying Rendering as Audit: Interactive Visualization as Methodological Verification for Composite-Index and Expert-Coded Research (Brandes, 2026).

This page is the artifact the paper's argument requires. The paper claims that for scored-measurement research, verification can be embedded in the rendered presentation rather than housed in separate codebooks and appendices. A static PDF cannot demonstrate that claim against itself. This page can.

Each element below implements one of the paper's five design principles. Hover over confidence dots to see the source base supporting a component score (Principle 2). Hover over the † flag on line 9 to see the protocol rule that auto-triggered (Principle 3). The component decomposition is always visible (Principle 1); the mirror-column layout enables direct cross-case inspection (Principle 4); the prediction registry below displays testable disconfirmation conditions (Principle 5).

The invitation is the one §9 of the paper makes explicit: evaluate whether the affordances claimed in §6 of the paper are delivered in practice by this artifact. If they are, the paper's own methodology passes its own audit test. If they are not, the claim is refuted in the medium it describes.
