-**Step 1**: High (e.g., 0.64) - univariate Somers' D with target

-**Step 2**: Sharp drop (e.g., 0.13) - measuring against residuals instead

-**Step 3+**: Gradual decrease (e.g., 0.07-0.19) - less residual variance to explain

**This drop is expected and correct.** Step 1 measures correlation with the original target. From Step 2 onwards, MSD measures correlation with residuals—what the current model doesn't explain. Since residuals are smaller and have different distributions than the original target, MSD values are naturally lower.

**This drop is expected and correct.** After the first feature explains most variance, subsequent features only capture what remains. Slight increases indicate a feature found orthogonal information.

**Why values aren't additive**: Somers' D is a rank correlation measure, not a variance proportion. You cannot add 0.64 + 0.13 to get total model performance. Instead, evaluate the final model's overall Somers' D on held-out data.
