|**Trivial**| Automatically determined by tool with near-optimal results. | None (unless debugging) | Buffer sizing, default layers |**High** – can be hidden | Best if invisible; surfaced only in debug or verbose mode. |

|**Easy**| Requires input, but easy to tune using reports or visuals. | Moderate – copy/edit from reports |`PLACE_DENSITY`|**Medium–High**| Smooth response curves, intuitive tuning. |

|**Nasty**| Affects randomness or non-determinism; results vary by run. | High – requires multiple runs/sweeps |`CTS_DISTANCE_BUF`|**Low–Medium**| Needs scripted sweeps and statistical evaluation. |

|**Pinata Nightmare**| No clear mental model between value and effect, no accurate way to communicate intent; tuning is long turnaround time guesswork. | Very High – frustrating trial-and-error, few users, if any, can even attempt to succeed | RTLMP_FENCE_LX |**Very Low**| Should be deprecated, automated, or hidden from normal usage. |

|**Nasty**| No clear mental model of small changes in values with large effects. | High – requires multiple runs/sweeps |`CTS_DISTANCE_BUF`, small changes can have large effects on skew and quality of results. Small changes to independent inputs, such as RTL, can invalidate earlier "good values". |**Low–Medium**| Needs scripted sweeps and statistical evaluation. |
