📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are order-of-magnitude and depend heavily on asset purchase vs. charter decisions, covert use of national assets, and design choices (redundancy level, secrecy). Many line items (vessel purchase, satellite tasking, large-scale reserves) have wide ranges, so aggregated totals are moderately uncertain.
