We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

"internal s matrix" is for diagnose purpose;

"user s matrix" is a subset of the total S matrix. So when you only use it to cascade, it loses some other information. I would suggest you to find EME papers to get more details.

In your case, both will not lead to the expected result you desire. Only when you have those groups inside EME simulation can you get correct result.
