## FAQ
### Is fit-out included?
No — fit-out (construction, MEP, finishes) is a separate capex line. Use the Fit-out Budget Estimator alongside this tool.

### What about lease overlap?
Not modeled here. Add overlap rent separately if both leases run concurrently.

### How accurate is the contingency?
10% covers normal slippage; budget 15% for cross-country or any move with significant IT/server complexity.

### Per-employee cost — is that net new?
Yes. It's the total move cost divided by current headcount, useful for board approval and per-FTE benchmarking.
