Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide broad line-item ranges enabling a consolidated estimate, but key drivers (frequency of spills, neon consumption, scale of potential evacuations and long-term remediation) remain highly uncertain, producing sizable variance in both one-time and recurring totals.
