Spanish term or phrase: horquilla de valores
I have never come across the term "horquilla" in this context, but assume it is something like a fork or tree diagram. As in, I know what this must be, but do not know the correct term in English, and need some help. Thanks in advance, much appreciated.
British English, context below. Thanks. :)

La ***horquilla de valores*** de cada grado de sostenibilidad no es la misma para cada conglomerado.
[...]
En definitiva, los umbrales de sosteniblidad máxima serán los que señalen la ***horquilla de valores*** de los cuartiles más sostenibles.
[...]
La [columna] central [representa] a los valores del municipio modelo de sus conglomerados respectivos, es decir la ***horquilla de valores*** de los cuartiles más sostenible.

value range / range of values
Explanation:
Buenos días!
Alguien sabe como se podría traducir
"el estudio tiene como objetivo determinar la horquilla de valores entre los que se moverían los ahorros energéticos derivados de ciertas medidas"

mi intento es:

The study aims at quantifying the range in which the energy savings would most probably move (??), after applying some energy efficiency measures.

Veo que mi traducción és muy literal, y me suena francamente mal. Si alguien tiene alguna idea de cómo traducirlo (la traducción no tiene que ser literal, simplemente, mantener la idea) se lo agradecería mucho.

-----------------------

Seems good. Some other suggestions that you might like to think about:

The study aims at quantifying the range of values between which energy savings derived from certain measures would move.

or, less literal

The study aims at quantifying the upper and lower limits of energy savings that can be derived from energy efficient measures.
