The article has Basic Nanoweave appearing at late TL9, becoming much less expensive at TL10. The text specifies that Basic Nanoweave is not as effective as TL10 Nanoweave.

I tried to re-create the TL9 Combat Hardsuit and didn't come at all close. I didn't try for Nanoweave but I would be surprised if it was more than "very early TL9" in the article. TL10 needs to be a full +50% better than a mature TL9.

So I'd guesstimate +75% to +100% over the materials in the article.

You can try and use the article to duplicate TL9 armors yourself to calibrate things. It may be "Cutting edge" in that it's more "late" TL8 than even "early" TL9.
