Historical Equalization: Multiplier = 1 + [ Deficit / (Window × Truncated Yield) ]
(Note: This mathematically reduces to the Time-Ratio formula (End-Base+1)/(End-Join+1)).
Multiplier only applies to correct predictions. If a Volatility Cap is left blank, the system automatically runs a Truncated Mean Checkpoint algorithm to mathematically limit massive underdog luck based on the specific match they joined.
