📋 Confidence Notes

Mid-level confidence: individual cost categories are grounded in analyst ranges and operational logic, but the SCP's anomalous relocation behavior, possible unseen containment needs, and geopolitical variables create wide uncertainty bands (several items have order-of-magnitude ranges).
