How to read the result

Safe means gentle and steady — low dynamic swing, no lurches, soft texture. Moderate means there's real movement; most people are fine, but very sensitive listeners may want to preview. Intense means loud dynamics, sharp textures, or sudden changes — approach with care.

The single most useful number is dynamic range. A high value means the quiet parts and loud parts are far apart — the classic trap where you set a comfortable volume during a soft intro and get blasted at the climax. We flag those.
