📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are built directly from analyst ranges in the notes and SCP procedures, but many items (manifestation frequency, detainee counts, PR/legal settlement sizes) are highly uncertain and could change totals by large factors; medium confidence reflects reasonable mapping of line items but wide uncertainty bands.
