📋 Confidence Notes
Many costs (property acquisition, amnestic procurement, attic remediation, and hazardous-waste disposal) vary by regulatory choices and local markets; the anomaly's unpredictable behavior and the possibility of large remediation operations lead to low confidence despite detailed line items.
