Draw % Now — our rough estimate of your chance in a single year's draw at your current point level, read off an editorial curve for that state and species. Not agency data and not unit-specific.
Yrs to Draw — how many more years of applying it would take to reach roughly a 75% chance in a single year's draw (about 3 chances in 4), assuming you gain a point a year and the threshold creeps up at our estimated rate for that state.
Proj. Year — this year plus that estimate. ⚠️ flags a state where the threshold is estimated to climb fast enough that the wait is longer than the raw point gap suggests.
For real, unit-level odds from agency draw reports, use the Draw Odds Engine.
