EstimateBusy-time intelligence
October: no dedicated climatology window — using harbour baseline. VERY_HIGH during Sailing Week and Christmas trades Hurricane season changes the product: the hole is a shelter plan, not a party plan. This is an estimate derived from declared inventory and seasonal demand, not a live sensor count or a passenger-style headcount.
