Steps 2-3, 5-7, 8-9, 10-11 and 12-13 are the district's own frozen-pair labels.
Checked arithmetically: BA+15 is exactly 700 above BA and BA+30 exactly 1,400 above BA on all thirteen rows, and the 2025-26 guide in the same file prints step 15 as 83,347 / 84,047 / 84,747 against 83,346 / 84,046 / 84,746 here, which confirms the digits independently.
