The recycled content percentage on the product data sheet is given as a range. What should I do?
Is the default average recycled content value of 25% for steel still allowed?
Can site materials, such as soil, be included in the MR credit calculations?
Are there recycled content claims that I should be wary of?

Yes, ask the manufacturer. Unique in LEED, you can also assign steel a default 25% recycled content value. However, the actual value is likely higher, so it's beneficial to ask.
