How we counted this

where the countdown comes from · why the advice is shy

Up to 703 seats are ready to reroute after review. The usage and survey signals can overlap, so this is a conservative upper bound. Review each reassignment before a seat moves.

Provided — a figure your team gave Aristo, labeled so you always know which numbers are ours and which are yours.
