      "question": "Is fit-out included?",
      "answer": "No — fit-out (construction, MEP, finishes) is a separate capex line. Use the Fit-out Budget Estimator alongside this tool."
    },
    {
      "question": "What about lease overlap?",
      "answer": "Not modeled here. Add overlap rent separately if both leases run concurrently."
    },
    {
      "question": "How accurate is the contingency?",
      "answer": "10% covers normal slippage; budget 15% for cross-country or any move with significant IT/server complexity."
    },
    {
      "question": "Per-employee cost — is that net new?",
      "answer": "Yes. It's the total move cost divided by current headcount, useful for board approval and per-FTE benchmarking."
