There's no reason why cross-skill comparison would always be the most favourable number going both directions. That is, a level III proficiency would convert to apprentice level, but an apprenticeship into a proficiency would only be first level.

I see your point though. The stated break points are different between the two. There is something to be said for consistency. When I picked the levels for the islander suite (as a test case) I was thinking that I didn't want the suite to be an overly cheap way to get the contained proficiencies to a high level.

That said, it may be time to revisit those break points from the Codex. There's no reason why they should stay at those points. From the perspective of proficiency-to-apprenticeship those numbers still work well, but might not work bi-directionally. That's something we can discuss. We could move the break points to something between the two, and make them consistent both directions.
