Semantic Interpretation

* **High Value (> 0.8)**: The learning progression is working. Once students get the prerequisites, they naturally acquire this target skill. * **Low Value (< 0.5)**: A major curriculum bottleneck. Even perfectly prepared students are failing to acquire this skill. This implies the skill requires external knowledge not captured by the prerequisites, or the instructional transition is poorly scaffolded.
