📋 Confidence Notes
Line items are specific with numeric estimates for most entries and the object is neutralized, reducing uncertainty. Ranges in autopsy and disposition were resolved using midpoints; internal overhead was applied as 20% split between one-time and recurring per notes, which introduces limited model assumptions.
