Runtime and reproducibility status

The R source uses packages including tidyverse, gridExtra, GGally, plotly, psych, knitr, and htmlTable. R, package, and Power BI versions were not recorded. The repository has no R lockfile, automated tests, continuous-integration workflow, or verified refresh procedure. One section in the regression source is explicitly marked as not working. The analysis and Power BI artifact have not been rerun or refreshed under a current environment.

The Power BI file embeds its data model and legacy custom visuals. Review it in a patched, isolated Power BI environment before opening or refreshing it.
