Something to keep in mind for EB-1A final merits? (based on a recent EB-1A AAO decision from April of this year, link in the comments)

Showing that you meet a certain benchmark does not necessarily indicate acclaim.

In this decision, the petitioner submitted evidence regarding the significance of the number of citations they received for their work.

They did not, however, submit evidence showing any acclaim based upon the level of attention to their overall body of published work ("but whether a petitioner's work has drawn attention in a particular field at the national or international level, the nature and extent of that attention must be indicative of acclaim for the work").
