What specific interventions has your research determined to be most likely to help someone who seems to be experiencing a challenging psychedelic experience? I have sort of trial and error’ed my way into a few steps but would love to have as many effective tools in my arsenal as possible so that I might be able to help someone around me if they need it.

There's a whole field of psychedelic harm reduction dedicated to just this thing, and they have hella best practices to share.
During a challenging psychedelic experience, one of the easiest things you can do is call the free hotline offered by the Fireside Project, where someone trained to hold space for your difficult time can monitor you and help you through it over the phone.
For general theory on what to do, the Manual of Psychedelic Support is one of the texts a lot of people point to.
