📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are midpoints of wide ranges provided by analysts and reflect significant uncertainty about scale choices (number/size of bunkers, scale of intelligence ops, and whether strategic reserves will be capitalized or used). CK/IK risks are inherently uncertain, so confidence is low.
