📋 Confidence Notes

Estimates are derived from analyst ranges and a defined continental-scale posture; many items (covert data access scope, incident frequency, and choice of helicopter ownership vs charter) are uncertain, so a medium confidence rating reflects reasonable but non-precise granularity.
