The front lever is a long project; from a tuck, most people need many months. Limb length and body weight move the range, which is why the estimate is wide and says so.
This estimator uses a four-step ladder from tuck to straddle, with no more than three straight-arm skill sessions a week, because tendons, not muscles, set the pace.

How the estimate works
Each rung of the ladder has an expected duration at three sessions a week: a fast case, a typical case and a slow case.
Your numbers decide where you start. You skip a rung only if what you can do today already clears it.
The estimate is the sum of the rungs ahead of you, adjusted for your days per week. It is never closer than the sum of the fast cases.
If you're below the starting standard, the first rung builds it, and the time grows with the gap.
