Why this is better

5 issues fixed: Power-Days is held at Messezentrum Salzburg, not Messe Wien. The article places it in the Messe Wien venue table's flagship fairs column. | Power-Days listed among top Austrian fairs by exhibitor spend alongside Messe Wien fairs, reinforcing the incorrect venue association since Power-Days is actually held in Salzburg. | Explicitly lists Power-Days as a Messe Wien event; Power-Days is held at Messezentrum Salzburg, not Vienna. | Entire worked-example budget is titled and framed around "Power-Days Wien" / "Power-Days Messe Wien," but Power-Days is actually held in Salzburg, not at Messe Wien in Vienna. | Decision-framework item lists Power-Days as a "Vienna flagship," reinforcing the same incorrect venue placement.
