Confidence Notes
Estimates use midpoints of broad analyst ranges; SCP-6872's global, anomalous scope and policy-driven activation mean large uncertainties (site counts, ark scale, activation likelihood and geopolitical reaction). Figures are order-of-magnitude planning estimates, not precise budgets.
