Research direction

Start with the issue's get_dynamic example and the effectsize::interpret and effectsize::rules entry points; review how the package currently accepts custom rules for CFI, RMSEA, and SRMR. Compare the demonstrated dynamic::cfaOne and dynamic::cfaHB results with the existing interpretation behavior. Done means these three fit measures can use the dynamically generated thresholds shown in the example.
