How to read these numbers.

This profile presents a pooled record—an aggregate across multiple art units in TC 2100. Pooled allowance rates combine decisions from different subject areas and do not isolate performance within any single art unit. The 55% allowance rate describes what occurred across all 92 decided applications in this examiner's combined workload. These historical figures are correlational data and are not predictions about any specific application.
