Confidence Notes
Many line items are based on analyst-estimated ranges and operational assumptions (production volume, incident frequency, reserve sizing). Core recurring items (rent, payroll, manufacturing) are relatively well-specified, but contingency reserves and incident costs are highly scenario-dependent, so overall confidence is medium.
