📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are built from analyst midpoints and an assumed baseline incident frequency (12/year). Many line items are per-incident and jurisdiction-dependent; uncertain manifestation frequency and scale make precision limited, though individual cost ranges are reasonably grounded.
