For anyone looking for a statistical analysis auditing challenge: the author links to an article[1] where they made the spreadsheets in question (questioning the return-on-investment from education) public.

A collaborative auditing effort could involve some further documentation of what the origin datasources mean, how the sheets process and transform that information, and how to interpret the results produced.

(see also this comment that reads like it could be onto something, although it'd require a bit of digging to determine what that is, if anything: https://www.econlib.org/archives/2014/06/embarrass_me_no.htm...)
