Panel C. Approximate and bootstrap fit evidence
Model	Criterion	Original value	HI95	HI99	Comparison
Saturated	SRMR	0.049243	0.041823	0.042769	Above HI99
Estimated	SRMR	0.049243	0.041823	0.042769	Above HI99
Saturated	d_ULS	0.727447	0.524749	0.548747	Above HI99
Estimated	d_ULS	0.727447	0.524749	0.548747	Above HI99
Saturated	d_G	0.219479	0.219742	0.225452	Below HI95
Estimated	d_G	0.219479	0.219742	0.225452	Below HI95

Native ordinary PLS, N = 650, 10,000 saved bootstrap parameter draws. Parameter intervals are two-tailed 95% percentile intervals. HI95 and HI99 are one-sided reference quantiles from the adapted Bollen–Stine model-fit bootstrap, not parameter confidence intervals. Approximate SRMR below 0.08 coexists with SRMR and d_ULS values above HI99; the fit diagnostics do not uniformly support the specification. No causal interpretation is assigned to the software path directions.
