📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are order-of-magnitude and derive from ranges in analyst notes; major uncertainties stem from unquantifiable items (underworld/Orcadian procurement, ‘gemstone’ availability, deep-ocean campaigns, and political/diplomatic obligations) and speculative exotic power infrastructure.
