		Aggregated Latent Space Index for Binary, Ordinal, and Continuous
		Data // Provides three stability-validated pipelines for
		computing an Aggregated Latent Space Index (ALSI): a binary MCA
		pipeline (alsi_workflow()), an ordinal pipeline using homals
		alternating least squares optimal scaling
		(alsi_workflow_ordinal()), and a continuous ipsatized SVD
		pipeline (calsi_workflow()).  All three pipelines share a
		common bootstrap dual-criterion stability framework (principal
		angles and Tucker congruence phi) for determining the number of
		dimensions to retain before index construction.  The package is
		designed to complement Segmented Profile Analysis (SEPA) and is
		intended for psychometric scale construction and dimensional
		reduction in survey and clinical research.
