Adjusted ratio: after pre-allocation/manual matching (primary allocation only in 2026). Its underlying residual counts are not published here.

FP2027 capacity is not yet verified. A historical ratio above or below one is not a personal allocation probability. Lower preferences and allocation-pool selection matter.
