Confidence Notes
Line-item ranges in analyst notes are relatively specific and were used to pick mid-to-conservative estimates; however major uncertainties remain around BSL infrastructure choice (outsourced vs in-house), incident frequency/severity, and strategic posture (minimal monitoring vs active capture), so confidence is medium.
