📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are derived directly from analyst line-item assumptions but rely on operational assumptions (D-Class tempo, local property prices, staffing overhead). Reasonable detail exists for major line items but many values are order-of-magnitude estimates and could vary significantly by location and testing intensity.
