Some thoughts, from the peanut gallery: everyone competes different, so CWS can claim you can expect this range of peak but truly it doesn't make it true for your either way. What's true is how you respond, so Josh not giving you a range isn't the worst thing. Especially if his suggestion ends up limiting you, or worse: you grossly disappoint it (ie he says you'll see 4% and you go 5/9 struggling all day).
And while if I was paying someone I would damn sure expect form critique and adjustment, your squat isn't really that bad at all. You just struggle with depth from my recollection, but you are easily put together well enough as is to progress just fine.
I watched a vid yesterday where Sheiko visits Westside and he tells Louie a tale of 2 lifters and the stronger of the 2 wins despite his lousy technique, even though the loser lifts beautifully. Bryant was a naturally dumb strong as a youth, so he understands better than most that absolute strength is more important than technique (which is more of a maximizer and safety component). So maybe in his eyes, if you're good enough to progress safely then the strength progression is all he really cares about.
I'm not saying you should or shouldn't stay on with him, just musing. I would look to open with whatever you hit for RPE 7.5-8 this cycle and go from there.
