What you say is understandable, but the OPs take is different:

Under that scope and observing Tymathee is the GM, the advantage is inconsistent as part of an NPC he wants to measure with character points. This is cosmic powers, resembling the "wish modifier".
GURPS Powers states something else, it establishes a "non discretional" ratio of lucky breaks, for example: "(...) Ridiculous Luck, which works every 10 real minutes, gets six uses per game day (...)"
That said Tymathee, the recommendation here is you either:
- Drop the idea of measuring Alice (NPC) with CP if the behavior of her powers will be discretional.
- Change her set of abilities for ones that represent the right amount of CP for the abilities you want to call (e.g. adjust the price of Luck to 120 CP as I previously stated).
- Establish a fair (non-discretional) ratio of lucky breaks. Consider the same for similar abilities in your game.
