Step-up is not a hard block
Step-ups and blocks are different decisions. Step-up mix % = step-ups ÷ (step-ups + blocks) × 100. Type both.
Pair: Step-up vs block mix on Orchestration. Review: block vs review mix. Abandon: step-up abandon cost.
What you type
Step-ups — step-up / challenge decisions in the window.
Blocks — hard-block decisions in the same window.
Step-up mix % = step-ups ÷ total × 100. Block mix % = blocks ÷ total × 100. Tune rules when one pile owns the book — do not invent a mix chip.
What not to do
Do not invent mix %. Do not mix reviews into step-ups. Do not treat issuer declines as blocks. Do not average every MID when one owns the hole.
