		Strategic Convergence Index for Inter-Rater Reliability // Inter-
		rater reliability analysis for binary classification tasks
		involving two or more raters within a signal detection-
		theoretic framework. User-supplied rating data are standardised
		into a common long-format structure. The package automatically
		computes Cohen's kappa for two raters and Fleiss' kappa for
		multiple raters. When ground-truth labels are available, rater-
		specific hit rates, false-alarm rates, sensitivity,
		specificity, and decision thresholds are estimated from
		observed classification responses using standard signal
		detection-theoretic transformations (DeCarlo, 1998)
		doi:10.1037/1082-989X.3.2.186. The package implements the
		Strategic Convergence Index (SCI; Gianeselli, 2026)
		doi:10.1177/00131644261417643, defined as SCI = 1 - [Var(t_i) /
		Var_max], where Var(t_i) denotes the variance of rater-specific
		decision thresholds and Var_max denotes the reference variance
		under maximal threshold dispersion. SCI quantifies convergence
		in rater decision criteria beyond observed agreement alone and
		complements classical agreement coefficients by distinguishing
		agreement in observed categorical outcomes from convergence in
		latent decision thresholds under an explicit signal detection-
		theoretic model of categorical judgment. The package provides
		structured summaries and threshold-based diagnostics for
		applications in which similar agreement coefficients may
		reflect substantively different underlying decision criteria
		across raters.
