    Documents the per-check extra columns produced by the median absolute
    deviation (MAD) agreement check, which gauges how tightly biological
    replicates or detection runs agree on a colony phenotype. The MAD is a
    robust spread estimate that resists single contaminated or mis-segmented
    colonies, so these columns help flag groups whose disagreement signals
    imaging artifacts rather than real biology.
