📋 Confidence Notes
Containment and operational requirements are well-described (windowless chamber, 13-person authorization, semiontological controls) so primary cost drivers are identifiable; many line items have wide ranges and depend on posture choices (physical convening vs crypto multisig), so numerical estimates use midpoints and thus carry moderate uncertainty.
