## Correlation correction (ChatGPT 86151f76)
Preferred Pearson **r ≈ 0.410** on **n = 47** full-year overlap (**1979–2025**, both series have 12 monthly gaps).  
Earlier hub wording **n≈48 / r=0.42** mixed A1-only 1978 and/or partial-year overlap — **superseded**.  
**r alone does not establish construct validity.**

## Quantile vs narrative examples
- Narrative event years (2008/2012/2020/2022/2024/2025) = audit illustrations only.
- Quantile-selected years are in `example-years.json` (`meta.a1_quantile_years_full_sample`) and `correlation.json` (`a2_quantile_years_full_12m`).
