Estimation & units
Calculate observed week-12 arithmetic means separately by arm and domain. Each spoke uses the same fixed 0–100 scale. Higher is worse on all five axes. No normalization to observed minima/maxima, axis reversal or clipping.

Analysis contract
Calculate observed week-12 arithmetic means separately by arm and domain. Each spoke uses the same fixed 0–100 scale. Higher is worse on all five axes. No normalization to observed minima/maxima, axis reversal or clipping.
36 fictional participants; 18 per arm before domain-specific missingness. Each spoke has its own observed n and missing count. All five scales are invented, not validated instruments.
Polygon area is not an effect size. Axis ordering and connections affect perceived shape. Use the numerical table for comparisons; this profile is descriptive and has no confidence intervals.
36 fictional participants generated by repository code with seed 20260921. These data are separate from CDISC Pilot and contain no employer or patient records.
