Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed ranges allowing mid-range estimates for most categories, so subtotal estimates are reasonable; uncertainty remains around international retrieval tempo, frequency of mass-exposure incidents, and long-term population/sterilization program costs, so confidence is medium.
