📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line items and plausible ranges allowing mid-range estimates, but substantial uncertainty remains due to unknown extent of inaccessible wings, variable number of vents/posts, and potential scale of stabilization or remediation that could dramatically increase costs.
