			'''Calibration Cycle''' tracks how many times a page has actually been reviewed and calibrated — distinct from both '''Document Version''' (content revision) and '''instrument_grade''' (current trustworthiness).

			A page can be:
			* Reviewed multiple times with no version change (refinements within the same version), or
			* Have its version bumped several times between reviews.

			There is no separate cycle-count field. The Talk page’s '''Calibration Reports''' log serves as the authoritative cycle record.

			See [[Template:Admin Page Status/doc]] for the full explanation of how cycles, versions, and instrument_grade interact.
