Abstract
We evaluated condition-normalized ranking for electrocatalytic screening under 36% current-density variation. A deterministic paired simulation generated 48 cases and preserved a median slice. Mean selectivity score changed from 0.477 to 0.530; the paired difference was +0.054 (95% interval +0.051 to +0.056). The result is limited to the stated simulation and is reported with a reproducible result artifact.
