Next step in grade, stop if ceiling	The process only evaluates one step: the one above the current step.	If the assignment is at or above the ceiling step, the process doesn't evaluate it for progression.
Next step in grade ladder	The process only evaluates one step: the one above the current step.	The process ignores the ceiling step.
