Description: Provides quantitative tools for substantive and
        content-oriented scale pretesting. Implements item-sort indices
        from Anderson and Gerbing (1991)
        <doi:10.1037/0021-9010.76.5.732>, exact item-sort inference
        following Howard and Melloy (2016)
        <doi:10.1007/s10869-015-9404-y>, empirical interpretation
        benchmarks from Colquitt et al. (2019)
        <doi:10.1037/apl0000406>, and the construct-rating procedure of
        Hinkin and Tracey (1999) <doi:10.1177/109442819922004> with
        HTC/HTD indices and repeated-measures item screening. The
        expert-panel workflow combines Aiken's V with score confidence
        intervals, Lawshe content validity ratios with exact inference,
        content validity indices with modified kappa and score
        intervals, item-objective congruence, and panel-level agreement
        using Krippendorff's alpha as described by Hayes and
        Krippendorff (2007) <doi:10.1080/19312450709336664>. Also
        provides judge and rater heterogeneity analysis following the
        generalizability-theory treatment of content-validity ratings
        in Crocker, Llabre and Miller (1988)
        <doi:10.1111/j.1745-3984.1988.tb00309.x>, content-domain
        coverage and expert-perceived content structure following
        Sireci and Geisinger (1992) <doi:10.1177/014662169201600102>,
        consensus and stability across Delphi rounds with between-round
        weighted kappa following Holey et al. (2007)
        <doi:10.1186/1471-2288-7-52>, comparison across successive
        pretest rounds, and exact expert-panel planning. Where
        published methods compete, users choose among them through
        arguments with evidence-based defaults. User-facing workflows
        emphasize interpretable summaries and transparent review
        recommendations rather than isolated coefficients.
