pcatR: Analyze and Visualize Pragmatic Context Assessment Tool Data

Provides a reproducible workflow for importing, validating, classifying, summarizing, visualizing, and reporting responses to the 14-item Pragmatic Context Assessment Tool (pCAT). The package preserves the instrument's two-part response structure, supports original and updated Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) mappings, describes team agreement and disagreement, compares repeated assessments, and creates implementation action-planning outputs. It does not calculate or claim a validated total pCAT scale score. The instrument is described by Robinson and Damschroder (2023) <doi:10.1186/s43058-022-00380-5>; updated CFIR mappings are from Domlyn et al. (2026) <doi:10.1186/s43058-026-00956-5>.
