📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates derive from analyst ranges and Site-400 assumptions; many figures are mid-range selections where the article/note provided ranges. Uncertainty remains around whether major capital purchases will be shared across site programs or charged fully to SCP-6232, and the frequency/intensity of biomedical research (long-term study fund).
