📋 Confidence Notes

Analyst notes provide broad ranges and a clear list of cost drivers, but major uncertainties remain (population size for evacuations, whether permanent buyout or large lab annex will be required, throughput of anomalous items). The anomalous, multi-reality nature of SCP-6108 increases contingency ranges.
