📋 Confidence Notes
Most line items include analyst estimates and explicit split between capital and recurring costs, giving moderate confidence; uncertainty centers on the chosen size of the catastrophic planning reserve, long-term R&D scaling if non-visual sensing fails, and incident frequency/severity.
