Oh, here we go!

I should really add the explanation for the quality levels somewhere

天 means that all readings of a compound match
上 means that the main reading matches, but you can also read it in a way not covered by the tone mark, but rarely
中 means that the main reading is different (かん here), but at least one of the phonetic readings is also used as a reading for the kanji (けん), just not in first place
下 means that the phonetic readings are nowhere to be found.

Ahh, I’m blind!! I had eventually figured that much out, though not the patterns behind why, thus the book. Thanks so much for digging that up and posting it here.
