Abstract
We evaluated condition-normalized ranking for electrocatalytic screening under 41% current-density variation. A deterministic paired simulation generated 64 cases and preserved a boundary-condition stratum. Mean selectivity score changed from 0.563 to 0.605; the paired difference was +0.042 (95% interval +0.039 to +0.044). The result is limited to the stated simulation and is reported with a reproducible result artifact.
