📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line items and midpoints for many costs (security, research, equipment), enabling a medium confidence estimate; however uncertainty about SCP mass/behavior, potential need for oversized cranes, special imaging, or escalation to public exposure increases tail risk and reduces confidence.
