Yeah, this is a bug - getting Xtriage output to display nicely in the GUI was non-trivial, and in a few cases I misinterpreted which data arrays were relevant.  It'll be fixed in the next nightly build.
 
 as a big fan of phenix, I still wonder if there is a way to improve the
output of xtriage. Even after looking at it for a number of years now, I
manage to confuse myself. I for one would prefer clear statements over
probability scores. I never know whether a high number is good or bad (or
what the scale is!) because sometimes a score reflects the probability
whether something is true or whether an assumption is wrong. Would it not be
possible to print likelihood of a space group scaled to 100%?

We agree that it needs to be made much more intuitive - I have tried to clarify some issues in the GUI but I'm limited to those parts I actually understand.  Peter and I probably need to spend a couple of weeks revising and cleaning up the output, but as usual this has to compete with about a dozen other projects...
