Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line-item ranges allowing mid-range estimates, but several items are optional (titanium lining, lab upgrades) and staffing/security posture is a major driver of recurring costs; probabilities for incidents are subjective but informed by Euclid-class stability and limited breach history.
