fix(kb): settle ECTS B as the 10-35% band, 'top 35%' is correct

ECTS grade B is the next 25% after the top 10%, so the accurate phrasing
is 'top 35%'. The record's original value was right; the 'top 30%'
considered yesterday was the error, now removed rather than left as an
open question.

The field also now says never to narrow B to a point estimate. B is a
band, and quoting 'top 30%' or 'top 25%' overstates the standing - the
kind of small, checkable claim that costs credibility for no gain.

Surveyed CBR, PSO, RBR and ANN; SELECTED a hybrid of rule-based reasoning (interpretable thresholds) plus a 7-10-3 feed-forward ANN (faultstates green/yellow/red) to handle noisy data that static rules cannot classify. Extensible plug-in architecture for swappable diagnosis methods and data collectors. Java/GWT client-server on MySQL. Evaluation measured throughput and latency, NOT model accuracy: the pipeline sustained ~500 samples/s against tri-axial vibration sensors delivering 72.9 kSPS, so the thesis concluded data reduction, filtering or batch scheduling is required for real-time use.",
