7d. Construct profiles — Lithuania vs Germany and S4 clusters
Overview
This page draws the construct-profile battery for §4.3 of the policy report: how the five-domain affective architecture looks side by side across countries and clusters. It consumes the means produced in 7a.

Warning
Spider plots can mislead on absolute differences. F-14 is always paired with F-15 (bar chart) in the layout. The radar shows shape, the bar chart shows magnitude. Do not present F-14 standalone.
F-14 — LT vs DE five-domain radar
Two overlaid polygons (LT solid line, DE dashed); axes for Threat, Betrayal, Fear, Foreign-power admiration (pooling the Russia and China affective anchors), and General disinformation acceptance; centre = 1, perimeter = 7; faint reference circle at the scale midpoint (4).
F-15 — LT vs DE side-by-side bar chart (first-order beliefs)
Dodged horizontal bars; first-order constructs on Y, mean on X, two bars per construct (LT, DE) with 95 % CIs.
F-16 — Country-cluster radars (S4)
2×2 grid of small radars: one per region_cluster() group (Baltic, Central-East, Southern, Western) + one pooled-EU reference panel. Five axes per radar (the five higher-order domains). The Eastern-neighbourhood cluster (Georgia) is excluded from this report cut pending country-of-residence data from the panel provider; restore it in region_cluster() once the wrangled S4 parquet carries residence rather than origin.
F-17 — All-S4 radar grid (higher-order)
13 small radars (one per S4 country) sharing axes; arranged geographically (north-west → south-east). EU-mean polygon shown faded behind each country’s polygon.
