The read

Anti-horde sits in the top 1%, spread across the list; resilience and reach are in the bottom 15%.

«the top 1%» means above roughly 99% of sampled reference list shapes for that capability — a comparison, never win odds.

Shapedashed ring = average list

The shape, not the verdict. Area is not a score — two lists with the same area can play nothing alike. The bars beside it are the reading that counts, and each spoke is this list's percentile under baseline assumptions.
