Distribution of ϵOct across 1000 different companion configurations for three initial semimajor axes ab,i = 0.3 au (red), 1 au (orange), and 5 au (blue). The black dashed line marks ϵOct = 0.03, above which octupole-order effects become very significant for Imut,i > 60°. A substantial fraction of our configurations exceed this threshold.
