SID Climb Gradient : "Minimum or Average"

Guys,

Quick question regarding DUBAI 30R ANVIX 3F Departure.

Chart says 5% to 4,000'

Is this a Minimum Climb Gradient or an Average?

EG:

Minimum : Cannot go below the 5% until reaching 4,000' even during the clean up phase

or

Average : Having a greater than 5% for the beginning then cleaning up (Possibly Less than 5% depending on Weight) then greater than 5% once clean.
(Therefore Average for the departure was greater than 5% to 4,000')

I hope this make sense.

A reference would be awesome.
