Abstract
We evaluated condition-normalized ranking for electrocatalytic screening under 49% current-density variation. A deterministic paired simulation generated 72 cases and preserved a boundary-condition stratum. Mean selectivity score changed from 0.539 to 0.577; the paired difference was +0.038 (95% interval +0.035 to +0.040). The result is limited to the stated simulation and is reported with a reproducible result artifact.
