Prior work proposed an inference-time method that counteracts this skew by equalizing the pooling token's attention across passage segments. However, (i) it redistributes attention at a fixed strength, (ii) it forces the pooling token's attention to itself to a fixed basket-level mass despite substantial variation across layers and architectures, and (iii) its effect on retrieval has not been evaluated. We introduce a strength coefficient that interpolates between uncalibrated and fully equalized attention, together with an efficien
