Analysis before conclusions

A strong Downtown Mountain View file turns the scene into a checklist: street proof from Castro Street, location proof around Castro Street, and medical timing tied to El Camino Health (El Camino Hospital), Mountain View.

Commuter and pedestrian density should be checked alongside El Camino Health (El Camino Hospital), Mountain View and Stanford Health Care - Stanford Hospital, Palo Alto so the medical timeline stays connected to the scene.
