Abstract
We evaluated condition-normalized ranking for electrocatalytic screening under 45% current-density variation. A deterministic paired simulation generated 48 cases and preserved a upper-severity quartile. Mean selectivity score changed from 0.520 to 0.562; the paired difference was +0.042 (95% interval +0.040 to +0.045). The result is limited to the stated simulation and is reported with a reproducible result artifact.
