Hawk,

"Do either of you two have a V final segment climb GRADIENT chart, and are you capable of providing
any figures on how much the gradient changes based on temperature? "

No, I do not have a V final segment climb gradient chart. All I can tell you from personal experience of around 20,000 hours of operating a variety of jet aircraft with RR, GE and P&W engines, mostly in the tropics, is that climb performance deteriorates with a rise in temperature.
