DAILY PET COMPASS — PUBLISHED STUDY DESIGN RECOUNT

This reader package adapts selected design facts from:
Palya Z, Racz K, Nagymate G, Kiss RM (2022), Development of a detailed canine
gait analysis method for evaluating harnesses: A pilot study.

study-input.json is a manual transcription of dog-harness combinations and
the measurement conditions. It contains published study IDs, not identities
or observations from a Daily Pet Compass household.

Run `python recount.py` in this directory and compare the printed JSON with
recount-result.json. Python uses its standard library, no network access and no
file writes. There are no third-party dependencies to install.

Expected design arithmetic: 4 dogs; 12 dog-harness combinations; 4 baseline
trials plus 24 harness-condition trials gives 28 trials. These are different
units. The calculation does not make repeated trials independent animals.

The script checks counting consistency. It cannot authenticate the transcription,
certify the study, detect a wholly rewritten but consistent dataset or estimate
clinical safety. Verify the source table independently. No raw motion-capture
data was downloaded or reanalysed and no experiment was repeated.

The article also discusses Weissenbacher et al. (2022) and Johnson and Wynne
(2024). This package contains no computation over those studies.
