📋 Confidence Notes
Detailed analyst line-item estimates were provided and were used to construct midpoint USD estimates (converted at ~£1 = $1.27). Uncertainty remains from currency conversion, exact staffing arrangements, and choice of amortization/replenishment rates, but the containment profile is well-described so overall confidence is high.
