📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line-item estimates and explicit quantities for many categories (e.g., 192 MTF personnel, four stations per area), but several large items (land acquisition, contingency reserves, choices between leasing vs. purchase) are inherently variable and scenario-dependent, producing moderate overall confidence.
