Land allocation note

For this fixture, the engine used 41.5% 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.
