📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide explicit line-item estimates and ranges for each cost; mapping is straightforward for an administrative, non-interactive SCP. Midpoints were used where ranges were given; probabilistic scenario estimates are judgment calls but based on the object's low-risk profile.
