📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line items and ranges but site-specific factors (exact pylon count/perimeter length, negotiated settlement size, and true severity/persistence of SCP-4115-01's memetic effects) are uncertain; many items use mid-range assumptions and recommended contingency sums.
