Criterion-by-criterion status in this source
These labels reproduce the source-review record. “Not considered,” “not reached,” and “not coded” do not mean the criterion failed. A Director finding recited as background is not an AAO holding unless the decision says so.

How this record may be used in research
Comparison scope: {‘fit’: ‘Summary dismissal; no specific error identified’, ‘aggregation_valid’: True, ‘use’: ‘Aggregate only with summary-dismissal decisions sharing the no-specific-error procedural ground; retain differences in the appeal submission and any missed promise to supplement. May support an appeal-process explainer, but not substantive criterion guidance.’, ‘do_not_claim’: [‘Do not characterize a procedural disposition or remand as a final EB-1A merits determination.’, ‘Do not infer criterion-level findings from generalized denial language or aggregate counts.’, ‘Do not represent a remand as petition approval.’, ‘Do not treat a nonprecedent decision as binding authority.’], ‘caveat’: ‘The AAO did not review criterion evidence or final merits. The Director’s generalized sustained-acclaim conclusion is not an individual criterion finding.’}

How to use this record
This is a historical, nonprecedent AAO decision about its own administrative record. It is not a prediction, success rate, or current filing instruction. Compare the issue and procedural stage before drawing an analogy. The current framework is in the USCIS Policy Manual, Volume 6, Part F, Chapter 2.
