Steering, composition and magnitude
Instruction, factual and style frontiers show lower off-target divergence at matched mean objective change. The advantage varies with injection depth and attenuates as intervention magnitude grows.

Methods and interpretation
Frontiers match aggregate mean changes under their stated protocols. The layer and magnitude studies use their specified prompt sets and intervention strengths.
Procedure in the paper: Reproduce the fixed prompt batteries, objective definitions, target grids and layer settings. Apply each frontier’s matching and aggregation rules separately.
