📋 Confidence Notes
Detailed analyst estimates exist for many line items (staffing, lab, medical, legal) improving confidence, but major uncertainties remain around choice of policy for the 267th-day requirement, frequency of incidents, and low-probability high-impact spells; contingency reserves are judgment-based.
