Data & Methodology Provenance: Parity Index calculated using normalized inverse Gini coefficient of championship distributions across rolling era spans. Roster minutes continuity reflects the proportion of playoff minutes logged in the championship year played by returning personnel in Year+1. Attrition simulator uses a calibrated Monte Carlo regression modeling CBA second apron salary restrictions, postseason fatigue decay, and team shooting variance.
