Has Regression Range: --- → no

This is actually the desired behavior. In most cases, we don't need exact numbers of profiles. So for larger numbers of profiles, we bucket the values to better comply with our principle of lean data collection. This means that values of 10-99 will be reported as 10, values of 100-999 will be reported as 100, values of 1000-9999 will be reported as 1000, and all values above 9999 will be reported as 10000.

I see that the test plan specifies that this value should be 12, which I didn't catch. I'll leave a comment in that document mentioning it.
