Classical statistics for the 42 items on AZ Grade 2 ELA Form 4. Flagged items are the ones holding the grade at Initial CTT; each needs a keep, drop, or re-key decision.

What happens next
Dropping IT-2041, IT-2063 and IT-2088 leaves 39 scored items and moves α to an estimated 0.83.
Re-keying IT-2057 instead of dropping keeps the raw-score range at 42 and avoids a new lookup table for this grade.
Estimated re-run: Initial CTT ≈ 40s, then Calibrate is unblocked for all 6 grades.
