Abstract: We study a two-regime summary of a real-valued loss distribution. The two representative levels and the boundary between them are chosen by minimizing a convex residual loss. When the distribution has an atom at the boundary, assigning that atom to the lower or upper regime can give different optimized costs. Taking the better whole-atom assignment yields the lower-semicontinuous cutoff profile. We prove epi-convergence of this profile under a loss-adapted \(\psi\)-weak topology and obtain convergence of minimum values and outer stability of optimal cutoff sets. Under a unique finite atom-free limiting cutoff, positive regime masses, and unique conditional centers, the two fitted levels and a canonical one-jump representation converge as well. We also examine the resulting summary from the viewpoint of monetary risk axioms, establish explicit failures of external monotonicity and subadditivity, and give finite-support algorithms with conditional error control. A four-scenario model illustrates the cutoff geometry and the role of ties and atoms.
