 ## What Is Compared
 - Comparison unit: rows with identical `workload_id`, `threads`, `key_size`, `value_size`, `durability_mode`, `read_path`
-- Fairness rule for read-heavy workloads: `get`, `scan`, `mixed`, and `W1`-`W6` run one GC/compaction pass after prefill and before warmup/measurement, so RocksDB is not compared with GC artificially disabled while reads may have to touch multiple SSTs
+- Fairness rule for read-heavy workloads: `get`, `scan`, and `W1`-`W6` run one GC/compaction pass after prefill and before warmup/measurement, so RocksDB is not compared with GC artificially disabled while reads may have to touch multiple SSTs
 - Throughput metric: workload-level `ops_per_sec` (higher is better)
-  - `W1/W2/W3/W4`: mixed read+update throughput
-  - `W5`: mixed read+update+scan throughput
-  - `W6`: scan throughput (counted by scan requests, not scanned key count)
 - Tail latency metric: workload-level `p99_us` (lower is better)

+- For read-heavy workloads (`get`, `scan`, and `W1`-`W6`), both harnesses run one GC/compaction pass after prefill and before warmup/measurement.
 - The purpose is to make the RocksDB vs Mace comparison fairer, since RocksDB reads may need to touch multiple SSTs and should not be benchmarked with GC/compaction artificially disabled.
