What's the stuff Netflix is doing that you aren't?

We ended up with a static ladder based on CRF with a bitrate CAP which gives us a lot of what Netflix is doing, but not going all the way with regards to scene based encoding, title tuning and multiple pre-passes to find the sweet spot etc..
To give an example:
Our top HQ 1080p profile/rung is basically CRF19@15mbps CAP with a fallback of CRF22@8mbps CAP etc..

Do you have documentation on what Netflix is doing with Capped VBR (CVBR)?
Note that CRF itself
IS scene-based encoding. There are other flavors of it, but the most basic is not to spend bits where they aren't needed.
