Description
Compare assessment-version strings and a supplied adaptation-disclosure flag.
Developmental research records separate actual observations, coder presence, task versions, response states, caregiver reports and exposure counts. Calendar age differs from developmental status, while a symbol match or parent-teacher rating gap is only a recorded comparison. Pseudonyms and supplied source labels do not themselves protect identity or validate evidence.
Compare assessment-version strings and a supplied adaptation-disclosure flag.
When to use this tool
Use Developmental Assessment Adaptation Flag when you already have standardVersion, usedVersion, adaptationRecorded and need to compare assessment-version strings and a supplied adaptation-disclosure flag.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter standardVersion, usedVersion, adaptationRecorded. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read versionDiffers, adaptationDisclosureMissing. Inspect versionDiffers, adaptationDisclosureMissing before interpreting the associated values.
Require both version strings nonempty; versionDiffers uses literal inequality, disclosureMissing=versionDiffers && !adaptationRecorded.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| standardVersion | Standard Version | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| usedVersion | Used Version | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| adaptationRecorded | Adaptation Recorded | Required. Boolean. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| versionDiffers | Version Differs | Required. Boolean. |
| adaptationDisclosureMissing | Different exact version strings and adaptationRecorded=false; no actual disclosure is inspected. | Required. Boolean. |

"output": {

"adaptationDisclosureMissing": true
}
}Limitations and assumptions
- Matching names do not verify identical instruments, and a recorded flag does not establish adequate disclosure, comparability or valid interpretation.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Use the complete study or assessment method, observation records and context for developmental interpretation. Review task adaptations, reporter perspectives and data protection together; local counts, time gaps and status labels do not establish ability, diagnosis or suitable support.
