The source multiplies entered shift by point one one. Hypothetical twenty gives two point two share-reduction points; forty gives four point four. Bars share one hundred pixels per assigned point. These are source assumptions, not measured reserve reallocations or current policy facts. The source dollar-share reduction from gold is entered gold substitution times point one. Ten gives one point; thirty gives three. Bars share one hundred forty pixels per assigned point. A separate gold-share expression multiplies the same input by point two. This is imposed scenario accounting, not verified portfolio or currency behavior. The sanctions term multiplies input by one point three five over twenty-eight. Twenty-eight gives one point three five; fifty-six gives two point seven. Bars share one hundred fifty pixels per assigned point. Dollar share subtracts the combined terms and floors at twenty-five after rounding. Saved officials, reserves and forecasts are unverified.
