📋 Confidence Notes
Many line items are explicitly estimated in analyst notes (salaries, program budgets, capital items) giving moderate confidence; uncertainties remain around frequency/severity of raids, recurring costs for remote storage, and the high-cost relocation decision, so estimates are approximate.
