Confidence Notes
Inputs come from analyst ranges in the notes (many items have wide ranges and reserves). Structural/site-specific costs (egress rework, contingency reserves) and staffing posture choices create moderate uncertainty; baseline monitoring and staffing estimates are reasonably well-bounded.
