Appendix A provides Python code for NPF/CNI calculation (raw score, linear/sigmoid normalisation, CNI aggregation) and simulation parameters. Appendix B gives a decision tree for selecting the sigmoid steepness parameter k based on cultural context (individualist vs. collectivist), with sensitivity analysis guidance. Both are theoretical tools; no validation is claimed.
