The iτSBD magnetic braking model attributes the boost K to irradiation-driven winds and the disruption η to a spike in convective turnover time at the fully convective boundary, yielding CV tracks consistent with observations.
A moderate factor of 2-3 reduction in magnetic braking efficiency at the fully convective boundary suffices to reproduce key features of cataclysmic variable evolution when using an updated saturated prescription.
