The final lesson states the boundary: this is deterministic labor ratio arithmetic.
Deterministic ratios
The calculations use fixed output, actual hours, and standard rate inputs.

Not staffing
This does not create a staffing plan or model fatigue and learning curves.

This does not prove standard validity, quality, or causal improvement.

Honesty note
This is deterministic labor ratio arithmetic only. It does not create a staffing plan, model fatigue, include learning curves, prove standard validity, measure quality, or prove causality.
