📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line-item estimates for staffing, equipment and recurring budgets, so numeric estimates are reasonably grounded; uncertainty remains in one-time buyouts, local real-estate variability, and the unpredictable frequency/severity of anomalous incidents, which reduces confidence from high to medium.
