Do you think the analysis is invalid?

Do you think that an autopilot response to "AOA > 15 degrees" should be the same regardless of whether AOA is 20, 40, 60, or 80 degrees?

Is there an industrial coding standard that makes recommendations here?

What does NASA do?

a common practice is to limit the number of bits in the data value which will limit the range of values it can have
