for the superpartner masses $\tilde{m}$, at which the supersymmetric standard model (together with a part of the GUT particles) is reduced to the SM (possibly together with a wino or Higgsino) at lower energies. Since $\lambda \ll 1$ at this scale, this implies $\tan\beta 
\sim 1$. In Fig. \[fig:scale\_tanb\], we show the value of $\tan\beta$ needed to reproduce the observed Higgs boson mass $m_{h^0} \simeq 
125~{\rm GeV}$ as a function of the superpartner mass scale. Here, we have assumed that all the scalar superpartners have common mass $\tilde{m}$; the gaugino and Higgsino masses are also taken to be $\tilde{m}$ and the scalar trilinear $A$-terms are set to be zero. We find that for the cases of the SM and the SM with a TeV-scale wino, the superpartner masses must be at an intermediate scale: $$\tilde{m} \sim 10^9\mbox{--}10^{13}~{\rm GeV},
\label{eq:m-tilde}$$ for $\tan\beta \sim 1$ at the 1-$\sigma$ level.[^2] As can be seen from the figure, and emphasized in Ref. [@Hall:2013eko], this conclusion does not require $\tan\beta$ to be extremely close to $1$. Indeed, for $0.5 \lesssim \tan^2\!\beta \lesssim 2$, the range of the superpartner masses suggested by the central values for the experimental data is still close to Eq. (\[eq:m-tilde\]), and
