📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line items and ranges allowing midpoint estimates, but key uncertainties remain (assumed number of D‑class introductions per year, how often surgeries occur, whether contingency is one-time or recurring). These operational assumptions drive medium confidence.
