Does a Pokémon's potential CP bar scale linearly?
Does the semicircular potential CP bar scale linearly? At my current level, if the bar scales linearly, this Fearow's CP would cap around 500. This is significantly lower than my highest CP Pokémon, and therefore I wouldn't bother trying to upgrade it.
Edit
I'm not asking what the bar represents; I understand that it represents the Pokémon's overall potential CP at my current level. What I'm attempting to determine if this bar scales linearly or not. Understanding how the bar scales could help to project the potential CP of a Pokémon to determine if it's worth the effort of upgrading it or if it will cap before it surpasses the CP of other Pokémon you already have.

I don't think it's entirely linear. I hatched a snorlax with 495 CP and the bar was slightly over half full which would mean it wouldn't reach 1000. However, it's at 1073 now and it still has more room on the bar. I think it'll max out at around 1200-1300. Hopefully this helps. I was thinking the same thing as you in terms of deciding what's worth powering up based on its potential and the bar.

What does the CP Bar mean in Pokemon GO?
The bar represents that max cp for that Pokemon in that stage of the evolution process. When evolved the "maximum cp" range will change but the current cp amount will stay the same. So, power up Pokemon as much as possible before evolving in order to reach maximum cp.Why do some Pokemon have higher max CP?
The maximum level is determined by the trainer's level. If you rise two pokemon to that level, then they will have different CP depending on their innate stats, which can cause something like 10-20% difference.How do you get more CP bars in Pokemon GO?
The actual total stats are hidden and are what combine to equal the pokemon's CP (combat power). If there are two of the same pokemon with stats that equate to 1000 CP, but one has higher IV's, the final CP that you see will be higher than the one with lower IV'S. To answer your question IV's do not matter, CP matters.Can India annex Pakistan Occupied Kashmir ( POK )? History and Geography of Kashmir

Answer 2
Are you asking that: if now you have a pokemon and its curve is right in the middle (most top position) then is its CP at the end of the curve (most right/fully developed without pokemon trainer leveling) double from that?
That is what I understand linearly growing number is. And if you meant it then the answer is no. You can check it using any pokemon in http://poke.isitin.org/ and first setting the curve in the middle, then dragging the curve to the most developed right. If linear, the pokemon fully developed should have double the CP than the one that has a curve in the midpoint.
Answer 3
I've noted that the potential cp levels rise as you reach another the next level. For example, I had a Fearow maxed out to five hundred something and after leveling up I went back and there was much more room to process.
