 Calibration (from the prototype these rules came from): crisp print scored 0.90 and
 up, handwriting clustered in 0.80-0.89, and 0.70-0.79 was empty. 0.90 sits in that
-gap. 0.95 splits off the 0.90-0.99 band that reviewers sample rather than trust.
+gap. 0.95 splits off the slightly unclear 0.90-0.95 reads from clean print.
 
 What a band claims: the score is the model's own legibility rating. Green means the
 text was read cleanly, NOT that the value is correct; a confident misread scores
