The source averages four assigned values to get point six six. Its serve adjustment is entered serve value minus seventy-eight, multiplied by point zero zero three. Keeping other inputs at baseline, illustrative serve values seventy-eight and eighty-eight therefore produce sixty-six and sixty-nine percent before clamping. Bars share five pixels per index percentage point. This is an unvalidated model offset, not an observed match probability. The source break-point term is twenty-five minus entered conversion, times point zero zero two. At otherwise baseline inputs, conversion twenty-five gives sixty-six percent; fifteen gives sixty-eight. Bars share five pixels per index percentage point. The sign follows the source opposing-player index. Saved match outcomes, names and historical claims are not independently verified by this arithmetic. The source error term is entered errors minus forty-two, multiplied by point zero zero two. Otherwise baseline inputs with forty-two and fifty-two errors produce sixty-six and sixty-eight percent before the forty-to-ninety-percent clamp. Bars share five pixels per index point. The saved outcome and drought status remain fixed fixture fields, not recomputed predictions. Complete actual JSON/reset/chart-buffer and native responsive first-footer checks preserve the tool.
