📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are based on analyst-provided ranges and explicit line items but many elements (object behavior, incident frequency, amnestic needs) are uncertain; line-item costs are reasonable but subject to variability given SCP-4972's Unknown class and potential for atypical incidents.
