Curious as to what your goal is. Given that you’re renowned for your precision and tech expertise, you’ll have doubtless considered the significant noise your dataset will have due to the variability in individual setups (from correctly ergonomic to fubar). With such a wide range of outcomes, extracting meaningful or consistent insights from the collected data will be a ballache, unless you’re somehow controlling for the above, but how?

I'm not bothered about the noise, in fact I welcome it. I just want a feel for the range of values in the real world, and the newest brake lever I own is a first gen SRAM Doubletap, which I know doesn't go forward as much as modern hydro levers.
The background is that CTT is considering a reach limit to eliminate "simulated tribar" positions in the road bike class. The number put forward is 20cm from the trailing edge of the handlebar tops to the foremost point of the hoods, which we know is too short because that's where I'm at with the aforesaid SRAM levers on a bar with no aerofoil on the tops.

I don't want to know what you call it, I want you to get your ruler out and measure it, specifically from a vertical plane tangent to the handlebar to the most forward point of the lever hood, in a horizontal direction.
