What the measurement says

Not in this package

Occurrence counts and forward returns for this formation are engine output. The design package carried the page inventory and the stylesheet, not the measured figures, so no numbers are shown here rather than invented ones.

Section-level result: across all 89 formations the mean edge over an arbitrary entry is +0.02pp, measured on 1,172,151 bars. Read this page against that finding.
