YMMV
The chart I shared is just my stab at trying to define "Edge" in a musical and actionable way such that if PGMusic so chooses they would have a starting point to implement an Edge Adjustment to their styles. I was thinking an Edge knob and Matt suggested a slider; same concept. As stated earlier, PGMusic would ultimately define what edge is within the context of BiaB style customization.

The point is that "edge" is a song attribute that is on a spectrum; it's not Boolean. Per my definition it ranges from 0 to 10. I don't necessarily call my edge definition "universal" but if that's how you interpret that chart, no problem, even though the intent was to have it apply only to a BiaB improvement.

That said, I'd be very interested in seeing your, and others charts that define "edge".

For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.
