Methodology only, results not yet published.No accuracy number appears here until it is measured on a labelled set with sample size, baseline and limitations.
A methodology note on how benchmark ranges become usable public corridors rather than arbitrary labels.

Core Thesis
Institutional trust strengthens when reference bands are calibrated against corpus distributions, not chosen by intuition. the goal is to make public ranges meaningful enough for comparison without implying false precision. and every band is treated as interpretive infrastructure, not as a promise that musical quality fits inside a single threshold..
Method in focus
Reference bands are calibrated against corpus distributions, not chosen by intuition. The goal is to make public ranges meaningful enough for comparison without implying false precision.
Guardrail
Every band is treated as interpretive infrastructure, not as a promise that musical quality fits inside a single threshold.
Why it matters
This matters because benchmark trust depends on how ranges are justified and explained.
