KOA-C09 · report causal overstatement
Classification and audit outcome: report causal overstatement; supported.
Finding
Environment alone was not isolated: home/lab conditions differed in sensor donning, visits and timing. The wording attributes the observed difference too specifically to environment.
Current amendment or qualification
Measurements differed between home and laboratory conditions despite similar equipment and walking instructions. This comparison does not isolate an environmental effect from sensor placement, visit timing or other procedural differences.
Integration note: Use observational condition difference; causal environmental effect not isolated.
Evidence and provenance
Primary Methods: self-donned home sensors versus researcher placement in lab; home/lab visits 1–20 days apart; Table2 speed difference.

Audit corrections describe the report only where that classification is explicit. A disagreement within a study, missing protocol, statistical query, access upgrade or optional addition is not silently converted into a report error or a new clinical threshold.
