FICTIONAL EXAMPLE CHECK
12-acre AOI; Alpha mapped over 8 acres; Beta over 4 acres.
Alpha composition 60% X / 40% Y; neither component is spatially delineated.
8 * 0.40 = 3.2 is arithmetic under an unverified distribution assumption.
It does not locate 3.2 acres of Y, classify them unusable, or establish yield.
Beta's missing interpretation stays unresolved. 24 homes is a proposed scenario.
