They're most likely decimal round-off discrepancies or something, but all nodes (and tiers?) only have one value increase for research report items. So far, I record only the 1st and 2nd-to-the-last research value, since those two values are enough to calculate for the rest of the # of research values, and the last one's always 100% albeit some nodes to have excess research % for that last report item.

What I believe that's important here is just the total number of reports needed to complete a research, just for the sake of a general "how much research report items a node needs" reference. …Though before I start explaining things again, I do like a wiki-wide discussion as well. -w-
