## TL;DR
- Per-seat per-month USD cost cuts through every regional convention.
- Include base rent, op-ex, taxes, fit-out amortisation, parking — not just face rent.
- Density assumption (sqft per seat) materially shifts the result.
- Use the Atlas's Occupancy Cost Calculator to produce this number consistently.
