Note on l5_event_streaming (79%) and l5_workflow_orchestration (47.6%): These high numbers reflect sites that check individual criteria boxes, but don't qualify as L5 overall because they fail other L4/L5 requirements. The level rating requires meeting a threshold across all criteria at each level.
