Why it is an estimate

What the record cannot read
The record of its people begins on 2023-09-12 (a listing, a merger or a first filing under the rules) and its chief executive and most of the people in charge have filed since then, so the record shows a floor of 3.2 years and cannot see past it; a floor under five years is not read as years in charge.
