📋 Confidence Notes

Analyst notes provide many line-item ranges and operational assumptions; however the anomaly's behavior, required containment escalation (e.g., BSL-4 or indefinite detention) and local property/population variables introduce substantial uncertainty, producing medium confidence in these mid-range estimates.
