Interpretation of letting ratings when scouting Topic

I was wondering if anyone had a general points equation for rating expectations based on letter only, assuming I had scouted the player to level 2 so could see letter grades for each rating category. For example if a player has a B for WE or DEF, what number range should I expect to be there if I scout him further? What if it's a D? If there are such ranges, are they the same for all categories or do they differ?

I understand these ranges could be pretty broad. I'm just trying to be more efficient with my scouting $ so I can scout more players to levels 3 & 4 who are likely be of interest. (I know the color - level 3 scouting - makes a big difference, but there are numbers in certain categories that would automatically eliminate players from my interest.) Any info or suggestions would be much appreciated.

P.S. I assume there is really no useful information to be gained from a letter grade based on level 1 scouting since they cover multiple categories, but if I'm wrong please don't hesitate to correct me.

SCOUTING LEVELS / RECRUIT RATINGS
Each recruit's ratings/preferences are gradually revealed though these scouting actions. There are 4 levels of information:
Level 1: Very basic information. It gives combined letter grades for Physical (A, Spd, St, DU), Offense (LP, PE, BH, P), Defense (Reb, Def, Blk), WE, and FT. It does let you know the letter grade for WE and FT, so you can see which players have extremely low or high WE. It also gives an overall letter grade for the player.
Level 2: Gives a letter grade for each individual attribute.
Level 3: Gives a letter grade for each individual attribute, and color codes the grades, but only in black, yellow or blue. Yellow may really be red at level 4, and blue may really be green at level 4. It also extends grades to +/- to give more accurate information (e.g. A+, A, A-, B+, B, B-, etc.).
Level 4: This provides complete information with actual numbers instead of letter grades. It is even better than current HD because it has 5 colors.

POTENTIAL INCREASES:
Green is High High (28+ Points)
Blue is High (20-27 Points)
Black is normal (8-19 points)
Yellow is High-Low (4-7 points)
Red is Low Low. (0-3 points)

NUMERICAL EQUIVALENTS OF LETTER GRADES:
A+ = 85+
A = 80-84
A- = 74-79
B+ = 69-73
B = 64-68
B- = 58-63
C+ = 53-57
C = 48-52
C- = 42-47
D+ = 37-41
D = 32-36
D- = 26-31
F+ = 21-25
F = 16-20
F- = 0-15
