20 - Sense one property of an Artefact (determine how powerful a computer is, the speed of a jet-pack)
30 - Gain an intuitive/full general understanding of how an Arefact functions, or what it is supposed to do; Sense nearby Arefacts of a specified kind (guns, computers)
45 - Gain in-depth understanding of how an Artefact functions, enough to rebuild or repair it (with the appropriate skills and tools)
