Audit context

What the response says and how it was assessed

Response says

Partially disagrees because BART does not convert overtime to FTEs; lists absence cover, capital work, maintenance and special services.

Audit analysis

Does not directly resolve the jury’s 9.4%–12.4% historical range or explain whether that conversion is invalid. Disputed numerical scope remains incomplete.
