You are correct 11's are on the rich end and 13's are on the lean end. The lower your number the richer you are, the higher your number the leaner you are.

Yes, starting at 11.8 and and ending at 12.8 is acceptable, I presume. The gradual increase in afr is a leaning condition, you are not running lean, but your ending afr is noticeably leaner than what you started out at. I think all of use have this (acceptable) leaning condition and I don't think its by choice. Its a product of our fuel system and elevated boost levels.
i sort of see waht your saying. mine for example at idle is 14.7 which is atmospheric. then stand on the throttle and it dives to 12.5 and stays there thru 140 mph top gear. from what i understand this is a very good example of a proper tune
