📋 Confidence Notes
Many line items have defined ranges and clear operational drivers (staffing, surveillance, waste processing) improving confidence, but anomalous behavior uncertainty, per-incident variability, and choices about robotic mitigation create material uncertainty in mid-to-long-term costs.
