Semantic Interpretation

* **High Value (> 0.8)**: Excellent item alignment. True Masters can reliably demonstrate their proficiency cleanly on this item. * **Low Value (< 0.5)**: A flawed or "slipping" item. Even true Masters often fail this item, suggesting the question is confusingly worded, computationally exhausting, or requires an unmodeled secondary skill (like advanced reading comprehension).
