Inference Result Schemas

`geolift_results.json`

Schema 1.0 contains the primary unscaled result:

Field	Contract
`status`	`ok`, `partial`, or `failed`.
`estimand`	`att_unscaled`.
`att`	Average post-period treated-minus-counterfactual effect in outcome units.
`p_value`	Two-sided in-space placebo p-value for the average effect.
`p_value_method`	`in_space_placebo`.
`n_placebos`, `max_n_placebos`, `possible_placebos`, `p_value_placebo_mode`, `placebo_seed`, `p_value_granularity`	Finite reference-set metadata.
`ci_lower`, `ci_upper`, `ci`, `ci_source`	Unscaled SparseSC placebo interval or explicit unavailability.
`se` / `se_available`	No estimator-provided standard error is claimed.
`se_approx_from_ci`	Optional normal approximation from interval width; not a sampling SE.
`significance_available`, `significant`	Detection availability and `p_value < alpha` flag.
`analysis_window`	Launch, cooldown, and measurement metadata.
`assumption_status`, `assumption_required`, `assumption_checks_completed`	Gate summary.
`warnings`, `errors`, `caveats`	Interpretation controls.

`geolift_diagnostics.json`

Contains pre-period RMS effect and p-value, scaled post-effect diagnostics, period effects, fitted donor-weight summaries, synthetic-control availability, assumption state, analysis window, and warnings/errors. Scaled effects are not interchangeable with the unscaled top-level ATT and interval.

Validation artefacts

data_validation.json records file and model panel construction. assumption_validation.json schema 1.1 records gate-eligible parallel-trends status plus an advisory interference screen with signal, no_signal, or indeterminate status.
