📋 Confidence Notes

Analyst notes provide detailed line items and ranges for most categories (staffing, property, remediation, maintenance) allowing reasonable mid-point estimates, but location-dependent property costs, uncertain overhaul frequency and unpredictable anomalous-driven incidents create residual uncertainty.
