Describe where the models are in the report. What appears to be the main taper equation is given on p. 22 (Eq 33.1), with parameters given on p. 28 (Item 41.1).

Additional context I would present the models as-is and let the user figure out how to retrieve the taper themselves. Perhaps we can facilitate this somehow, though. See pp. 23-24 for a way to predict the 20% relative height diameter.
