Behind the median
Everyone here with an Eng Scorer read, placed in their caliber tier.
- 38%Strong16 people
- 50%Solid21 people
- 12%Emerging or unproven5 people
42 of the 42 people here carry an Eng Scorer tier.
Exceptional and strong are the top two of the five tiers. 16 of the 42 people here with a read sit in them, 38%. A tier is the band an Eng Scorer caliber score falls in, so this is the same measurement as the median on the caliber card, opened up. A tier holding fewer than 3 people is printed together with the one next to it, because a bucket that small is a person rather than a pattern.
