Operator	Regional / other operator	×1.05
Spectrum	No band data (UCS-derived)	×1.00
Scarcity	Congestion score 90	×1.45

Heuristic estimate from public data, not a market quote. A baseline is multiplied by arc desirability, occupancy, operator tier, spectrum, and arc scarcity. See the methodology in docs.
