For V=Cp​(Φ/MPl​)p and the leading endpoint estimate ϵV​=1, the slow-roll approximation gives ΦN2​/MPl2​=2pN+p2/2 and ϵV​=p/(4N+p). Thus PR​=Cp​(2pN+p2/2)p/2(4N+p)/(24π2MPl4​p) and the scalar spectral index obeys ns​−1=−2(p+2)/(4N+p). The coefficient sets the amplitude, whereas the monomial power and exit e-fold count set the leading tilt. Changing the power without specifying the coefficient leaves the overall normalization undetermined.
