📋 Confidence Notes
Article and analyst notes provide detailed line-item ranges for most costs, allowing reasonable mid-point estimates; uncertainty remains in event frequency, event-scale costs (Sollemnitas event cadence and scale), and regional price variance for property and vessel conversion, hence medium confidence.
