Proof:

Risk-value of Igel (considering your screenshots) = 295. Highest value of all engines here. Higher than CSTal 2.1 EAS (215), Patricia 3.1 (228) = nonsense

Positional play: Patricia 3.1=120 , Stockfish 17.1 = 119 (consider, the Patricia net is more than 100x smaller than Stockfish) = nonsense

Endgame: Patricia 3.1 = 209, Stockfish 17.1 =189 (consider, the Patricia net is more than 100x smaller than Stockfish) = nonsense

So, some values are good, but some are obvious nonsense. So, nobody should rely on this tool by Chessbase... we can do this way better, Ed.
Ha Ha, makes sense.

Still fun.
