Variability index (VI = the fraction of normalised power and average power) is sometimes calculated incorrectly.
For this strava activity: https://www.strava.com/activities/1149931366 VI is determined to be 1.12:
VI should have been 297 / 274 = 1.08:
This is also confirmed by Training Peaks:
Please investigate and let me know if more info is needed.

It seems to me that average power as used by StravistiX is the problem.
In the first screenshot Avg Watts/Kg is calculated by StravistiX as 3.41.
My weight has been specified in StravistiX as 78 kg:
This implies that Avg Watts as used by Stravistix is 3.41 x 78 = 266.
VI is then calculated as 297 / 266 = 1.12 as confirmed by the first screenshot.
But average power is actually 274 W, please see second screenshot form Strava. This number is confirmed by Garmin Connect and Training Peaks.
