Abstract
We evaluated condition-normalized ranking for electrocatalytic screening under 47% current-density variation. A deterministic paired simulation generated 48 cases and preserved a low-signal stratum. Mean selectivity score changed from 0.522 to 0.576; the paired difference was +0.054 (95% interval +0.052 to +0.057). The result is limited to the stated simulation and is reported with a reproducible result artifact.
