Worked out by comparing how availability behaves at different boarding points. Not published by Indian Railways.

Confidence is LOW — treat this as a working hypothesis, not a finding.
GNWL behaviour observed at HWH. Only one boarding point supports this group, so the extent of the pool is unestablished. Confidence is therefore held at the single-station limit; on evidence volume alone it would have scored 68%. At most 176 berths were ever seen free at once, which is a lower bound on the allocation, not the allocation itself. Weakest evidence factor: group_agreement at 0.00.
