// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This pooled record combines the examiner's work across 3 art units in TC 2100.

The range of 64% to 88% reflects variation among the individual art units; this aggregate figure does not identify which specific rate applies to which art unit. Pooled data serves as general historical context and is not a basis for case strategy or prosecution decisions.
