In this source model, five hypothetical flight hours contribute twenty-four assigned fatigue points because the coefficient is four point eight. Ten hours contribute forty-eight. Bars share ten pixels per assigned point. The final score includes other terms and a clamp. This coefficient is a programmed assumption, not medically validated travel fatigue or verified player performance. Two entered acclimation days subtract eight point four points; four subtract sixteen point eight. Bars share twenty-five pixels per assigned reduction point. Greater bar length means a larger subtraction, not a larger final fatigue score. This arithmetic explains the saved coefficient without asserting that real recovery follows this rate. Original venue, quote and engagement claims are unverified. The general expression at flight seven point five, timezone five and acclimation two, with no optional flags, sums thirty-six plus thirty-two point five minus eight point four plus twenty-five point five: eighty-five point six. But the exact London default branch explicitly assigns eighty-seven point four. Bars share five pixels per assigned point. This is a fixture override, not a corrected physical estimate.
