Where these numbers come from
Read from Total War: ATTILA's own database tables (main_units, land_units, battle_entities, unit_armour_types, unit_shield_types, melee_weapons, projectiles…) in the data packs of the installed game, Steam build 25370302. The formulas that turn table values into card values reproduce the Total War Fandom wiki's unit infoboxes before anything is shown — how the numbers are checked.
