Behind the median
Everyone here with an Eng Scorer read, placed in their caliber tier.
- 8%Strong3 people
- 54%Solid20 people
- 38%Emerging or unproven14 people
37 of the 75 people here carry an Eng Scorer tier.
3 of the 37 people here with a read sit in exceptional or strong, the top two of the five tiers, 8%. A tier is the band a 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 with the one next to it, because that few is a person rather than a pattern.
