With approx power based on power curve of turbo model / PT testing done of said model (see attached, plus tests done with a mate's PT). Not clinically accurate, but consistent in and of itself, IYSWIM (see attachment for old model of Fluid2).
I take your point about adaptation, but I've stuck with an adjusted/more forward position during an entire winter before, and it just doesn't seem to work for me. My track position is a very subtle shift (1cm forward, 1cm down), and any time I'm waaaay forward on the rivet, it seems to be more during 'hanging on' stages i.e. maintaining a sprint cadence through neuromuscular co-ordination, rather than applying power. I feel like I'm shifting back slightly and wriggling my hips when I put the hammer down.
For TTs, I'm going for road fit with 'shorty' bars, so something like the invisible tribar position you see in the peloton, except with bar visibility :D
Anyway, drifting off topic.
Thanks for all the opinions offered so far.
