Time to rate tests.  He called Carissa back in for this part, for second and independent opinions.

Willa Shilira... just kept talking about probabilities everywhere and it was hard for Keltham to make out what was prior, likelihood, or posterior - there's a reason why well-designed languages have three different words for those!

Alexandre Esquerra... seems to have a solid grasp of the basic way to apply math in principle but to have not quite grasped what you can't do at all, let alone without computers.  Still, that's better than a lot of other submissions.  If you look at it as 'tried to invent a new way of expressing his ideas about Probability and didn't completely screw that up', it becomes 

Lady Avaricia has apparently caught up to Meritxell in her grasp of Law, as to be expected of a ????????.  But Avaricia was a trivial-proof for tier-1 regardless.

Nobody matched the standard set by Carissa or Asmodia, but that's only to be expected.

...Korva would have made it in easily as tier-2, based on what she wrote down before she cracked.  She did have any idea of what the Law meant at all, and that combined with her chemistry work would've been more than sufficient.

Keltham feels awful about that, and like he made some basic mistake, that there was supposed to be some better outcome than this, but, well, that's what everybody warns you happens any time you deal with mental health events in any capacity other than "I am an actual trained professional doing what I have been trained to do".

The cleric of Asmodeus whose report claimed him to be excellent at mathematics, may in fact be excellent-for-Golarion at math, but doesn't seem able to relate his proofs to the structures of Lawful thought.  He proved the Rule of Succession rigorously using integral calculus, instead of the discrete calculus that Keltham used, which is hella impressive for somebody who'd never heard of the gamma function up until that point, but then... couldn't answer any of Keltham's actual questions about how to use the Rule of Succession inside of Science.  He's not made any progress on Prestidigitation chemistry.

Fail him out?  Tier-2 in case they run into a purer math problem at some point?  This person seems maybe useful if they run into just the right kind of problem, but Keltham can't guarantee that, and it's famously bad for mental health to hire people and then not have enough work for them.
