“Not settled” means this sample does not separate the two values. The sample column is the smaller of the two teams' samples, in the unit that dimension counts, because a comparison is only as strong as its thinner side. These dimensions are not all independent: the structure ones restate how rigid a lineup is from different angles and move together, so read them as one family rather than as separate agreements.

This dimension does not separate teams. A team's position here moves between samples, so the order below is not a standing. It is shown because a flat dimension is a finding, and dimmed everywhere else on the site for the same reason.
