T-587: the fixed layout of the v4 walk (tools/tyrtable.js walkTable, written by node tools/v4walk.js --write); reports/tiers/2026-10-03-v4-step1a.md holds the same table with every column behind it. BSData 374f505, corpus 570b8c6, engine e2abebfd3b3b, field 8fd085059e24. A report: nothing on the site changes.
The walk: four score forms, no weights
Sorted by the scaled sum's rank: a presentation order, not a choice of form. Offense and defense are in points per 100 points (offense: ranged plus melee, summed; defense: shooting plus fight, summed). The scaled sum is offense ÷ 45.50 + defense ÷ 186.18 (each divided by its standard deviation over the 52, population); the geometric mean is √(offense ÷ 45.50 × defense ÷ 186.18). Rank 1 is the highest; ties share a rank. No letters of ours: no bands exist yet.

Driving columns: the two or three of the scaled sum's four parts (offense ranged, offense melee, defense shooting, defense fight, each ÷ its form's SD) furthest from the army's mean of that part; the value is the raw column, the bracket the part's distance from that mean in SDs.
