Land allocation note

For this fixture, the engine used 50.0% land allocation from source: statistical_premium_floor. This means the engine's component-bottom-up reconstruction cost exceeded 2.0× the implied depreciable basis after subtracting land, the premium land floor was applied to keep the study within audit-defensible territory. This is common for resort-tier properties where land scarcity premiums dominate the purchase price.

Reconciliation

The engine computed a reconciliation factor (rf_raw) of 1.4109 (B band). Geographic factor: 0.94 (state resolver).
