Stand staffing is the largest variable cost in fair execution after the stand build itself, and the only variable cost where the marginal return is genuinely measurable on the day. Adding the right one or two staff members in the right roles delivers measurable lead-capture lift within hours; cutting the wrong staff destroys lead capture within the same window." — AUMA Exhibitor Cost Benchmarks Report, 2024-2025

Why: 2 issues fixed: Attributes a specific, precisely-worded quote and cost claim to a named 'AUMA Exhibitor Cost Benchmarks Report, 2024-2025' but no AUMA publication with this title exists; AUMA's real named publications are 'AUMA-Trends' and the 'AUMA Exhibitor Outlook' survey, neither of which publishes this kind of granular quote/benchmark. This is a fabricated citation dressed up with a real organization's name. | Cites 'UFI Global Exhibition Barometer, 32nd edition' as the source for a 2025 stand-operations commentary, but UFI's real 2025 Barometer editions are numbered 34 and 35 (with the 36th in early 2026); edition 32 corresponds to an earlier period, not 2025.
