Decipher flow chart?

Okay cool, I like to hear the word "typical" in a discussion about this type of thing.

So how specifically does one read it? Does info on the sheet (other than written 400/300cfm) reflect 400cfm (INT) and 300cfm (EXH)? I guess I'm looking for a baseline.

Are we looking at something that demonstrates: 400cfm was supplied on the intake side and the flow rate was 85% of 400cfm at .700 lift?

I suppose long story short is, how do I relatively accurately, translate the numbers on this sheet into CFM flow rates at specific lifts.

I may be reading too deep into this, if it's a typical flow sheet I suppose I could supply to a cam grinder and they'd know exactly what they're looking at?

Other than that, it's to satisfy my curiosity as someone who is new to this world. Thanks guys so far, look forward to more insight!
