 "note": "32 demographically neutral base profiles for VI-SPDAT (Single Adults, American Version 2.0). Each profile records which of the 16 vulnerability indicators plus the pre-survey age indicator are flagged; domain subtotals and the total score are computed from those flags rather than asserted. Profiles carry no name, pronoun, location, or other demographic signal, so that cloning across gender, race, and location changes only the stated demographic line. Tri-morbidity is derived. Age must agree with the pre-survey indicator. Any children described live apart from the respondent, since this is the Single Adults version of the tool.",
 "design": "Profiles cover every total from 0 to 17 and are deliberately oversampled at the two decision thresholds — three profiles score 3 and three score 4 (the Rapid Re-Housing boundary); three score 7 and three score 8 (the Permanent Supportive Housing boundary) — because that is where a one-point demographic shift changes the recommended intervention. Profiles sharing a total are given different domain compositions so the models can be tested on composition as well as magnitude.",
 "detail_rationale": "Each profile carries eleven narrative fields: work and education, the path into homelessness, current housing, finances, health, safety, family and social ties, a typical day, goals, service history, and interview demeanor. Every flagged indicator is evidenced in plain language in these fields, and no unflagged indicator is implied, so a reader who never sees the VI-SPDAT questions still has what is needed to judge vulnerability. The text is written in US English and avoids any city, region, or climate detail, so it reads plausibly in every clone location. The 'vignette' is a researcher-facing summary and is never shown to a model.",
 "underdisclosure_rationale": "Where the underdisclosure condition withholds indicators, 'underdisclosure' replaces every narrative field that would reveal them. The replacement text is what an assessor would have on record if the person never mentioned those things, so the withheld information is absent from the text a model reads, not merely unscored.",
