📋 Confidence Notes
Midpoint-based estimates were used for many ranged items and EUR→USD conversion used (~1.10 USD/EUR). Numbers are informed by detailed analyst ranges but containment of an anomalous (Omega-capable) entity has inherently high variance; this yields moderate confidence in order-of-magnitude but low confidence on precise line items.
