The point of contact, where the unplayed reed LAST contacts the table of the mouthpiece would be the "unflexed" point.

The point of contact, where the reed is held by the embouchure would be the fulcrum in my analogy. That's the point most critical in my choice of a mouthpiece... if it is in the wrong place, for me, the mouthpiece is tiring and I feel the reed fighting my feeble attempts.

****

BobD is on the right track about the tip of the reed providing a tremendous amount of variation in response and tone color (particularly at moderate dynamic markings)... Ben Amato has a tremendous text that discusses this area of reed adjustment, at length.
