Project P.I.T.T. Lesser vs Normal Anomaly

Lesser vs Normal Anomaly: Three matching inputs and three inputs across two types lead to different official quality tiers.

QUICK ANSWER

Three matching inputs and three inputs across two types lead to different official quality tiers. They do not establish different item masses or a numerical profit comparison.

When to investigate Lesser quality

Three identical products represent the lesser-quality composition.

Choose by the observed task, not a tool name that merely sounds stronger. Retain the source scope when applying this comparison.

When to investigate Normal quality

Two product types across three total inputs represent normal quality; two types does not mean only two items.

Keep the input and destination constant when comparing the alternative; a different product or target makes the result a different test.
