Signal strength — normalisation spike

One ordering, five presentations. Every scheme is a monotone per-study transform of the same score, so the sequence is identical in all of them — only what the number claims changes. S a sentiment value, C a codebook group. Nothing here is wired into the product.

Attainable range by study size

The strongest and the weakest measurable card a study of N users can produce, for each kind of label. Two things to read: the two kinds' bands converge from N=5, and the ceiling falls as the study grows — because a location holds a near-constant number of quotes however many sessions you run, so it can never involve every participant.

N users	quotes	per location	sentiment value	codebook group	band overlap
