📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide explicit line-item estimates and ranges for nearly all costs; most figures are directly derived from those estimates. Remaining uncertainties concern rare, high-cost breach events and policy choices (e.g., long-term curation vs destruction), which are captured by the contingency reserve and scenario analysis.
