What a claim record is How to read this page

One statement, bounded on purpose

The headline is a single claim that a named source supports. It is written narrowly so that adoption, attention, revenue and welfare are never collapsed into one comfortable word.

The three sections below the fold

What this does not establish is the boundary of the evidence. Counterevidence & uncertainty is what argues the other way. What would change the reading is the observation that would move it. A record missing any of the three is incomplete, not merely brief.

Primary routes are checkable

Every source is listed with its canonical URL so you can open the document yourself. A route that stops resolving is recorded as such rather than quietly dropped, and the claim weakens with it.

MWITA-LOC-2026-011 · Evidence B · P1

Ghanaian multilingual listeners most often preferred blended-language advertising, but language preference did not predict attention even though it differed with ad believability.

What this does not establish

Language preference, self-reported attention and believability are separate observational measures, not ad exposure, recall, click, conversion, purchase, revenue or sales. Urban radio listeners in Ghana do not represent all African language ecologies.

Counterevidence & uncertainty

Blended language won stated preference, yet preference was a null predictor of attention; preference must not be equated with behavioral engagement.

What would change the reading

Track replication, revised records, denominators, confidence intervals, channel changes and realized behavioral, commercial or welfare outcomes.
