One theory is that many airlines do double derate...10 /20 percent and use an assumed temp method.....quite a low thrust setting but as 777 has big engines it is adequate for most situations.
I know of one airline that recommends using full climb thrust at 800 feet or whatever the altitude is for that airport. They say it will improve engine life by more quickly climbing above lower atmosphere normally full of sand( think Middle East ).
