| Code is not available in a publicly accessible repository.| Contact the authors and inquire about the availability of the original code of the model.<br><br> _If they provide the code:_ Ask whether it is OK to make the code publicly available. <br><br> _If the code is not findable (or authors do not want to make their code publicly available):_ Try to replicate the code from the model description of the publication (using the GitHub repository associated with this model).|
| The basic results published in the publication are not replicable.| While replication is not required to score the first criterion as "Yes" according to this initiative's assessment guidance, it does indicate that there may be issues with the code that would inhibit reproducibility. This may be an issue with differences in program or package versions, missing pieces of the code, or other bugs.|

| Documentation quality can be improved.| Improve the model description. For example, describe the purpose of the model, add visual flow diagrams, equations, and pseudo code, describe submodels. Provide sources of datasets used by the model. In principle the model should be capable of being replicated based on just the model documentation.|
