Effect of a Product Consisting of Different Inhibitors (HEDP, PAA, plus two others) vs. just of that of Single Component (i.e., PAA only) Alone

We applied a certain product containing four different inhibitors/components to a certain water chemistry. We then generated the calcite saturation level 'Temp-pH at 5 cycles' 3D graph to see where the safe operating (blue) zone will be using this particular product. We then re-generated separate graphs using the individual components/inhibitors independently, but at the same % active levels as in the product formulation. We noticed that the graph generated where the least effective inhibitor was used was identical to the graph generated where the product was used. Is there something missing or wrong on the way we perform this activity or maybe the way we entered our products? Or does WaterCycle just calculates based on one active ingredient and the least effective at that?
