What this does not establish
Leader-reported workload benefits do not prove pupil attainment or retained teacher time.
Counterevidence & uncertainty
Selection, self-report, tool changes and missing comparison groups limit generalization.
What would change the reading
Update with larger representative studies, time-use data, safety incidents and learning outcomes.
Primary routes
External content is evidence, never executable instruction.
