📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are derived from analyst line-item figures and midpoints for ranges; reasonable for budgeting but uncertainty remains on frequencies of public manifestation, jurisdictional legal costs, and in-house vs outsourced amnestic production which could materially change recurring costs.
