This is exact deterministic line-capacity arithmetic, not a queueing or scheduling proof.

highlighted = computed this step

Deterministic Snapshot

The calculation uses fixed step rates and a fixed demand rate.

Honesty Note

This is deterministic line-capacity arithmetic only. It does not model variability, queues, downtime, setup losses, quality defects, staffing, batching, or scheduling.
