This chart is descriptive historical output, not a prediction. Inactivity can lower CIR through time decay even without a new loss.

How to read this number

Opponent-relative fight evidence drives ability; reliability changes the weight of that evidence; recency ages it; and bounded, division-specific championship support combines with ability. Those context displays are not separate additive bonuses.
