Key findings

  • ISCro4 robustness = 1.000 — TRUE_WRITER under all 18,000 combinations

  • Zero boundary cases (robustness < 0.50) — no tier is genuinely ambiguous

  • 4 near-boundary editors (50–80% robustness): Bxb1 (0.5625), eePASSIGE (0.5625), eePASSIGE_v2 (0.5625), phiC31 (0.75)

  • 1,055 / 1,058 entities (99.7%): default tier == modal tier
