What the response says and how it was assessed

Response says

Disagrees that persistence of illegal activity establishes inadequate staffing.

Audit analysis

Pages 2–3 cite the F1 dated operations and coordinated deployment, then explain that no reasonable staffing level guarantees observation of every discharge. This identifies the disputed resource inference; it is not an independent resource-needs or safety-outcome analysis.
