  RiskModel: Chances of Getting Pregnant After Sex/Data:conception_model
Calculation: per_act_probability_friendly / 1
    Content: 
The chance of getting pregnant is {{One_In_X|{result}}}.

Calculation note: The friendly options reference **verbatim** probabilities from the cited studies (either a specific day from Wilcox 1995 or the “random-timing” average of **0.031** from Wilcox 2001). No averaging is performed inside the tables; the RiskModel simply uses the selected per-act probability as-is.
