The read

Anti-horde sits in the top 8%, spread across the list.

«the top 8%» means above roughly 92% of sampled reference list shapes for that capability — a comparison, never win odds.

Shapevs the p50 ring

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.
