Below is a link on the subject I found interesting (below that) is an exert from that same article - it mentions leading edge (Is this the sound hole edge of the saddle or bridge pin hole side.)

Find the point on the bridge that is double the length of the nut to the 12th fret and add 1/16" where the 1st string will cross the saddle and add 5/32" where the 6th string will cross. Mark a pinpoint on those two points then draw a line between the points. This will be the forward edge (not the center) of a ramped 3/32" saddle slot. |
Yes, leading edge is soundhole side.
This is a starting point, there is still setting the breakpoints on the top of the saddle. The bold is minimum compensation, the distance from the front of the saddle to the breakpoint is added to that.
