📋 Confidence Notes
Line-item estimates are detailed and internally consistent, but key technical unknowns (effectiveness of electromagnetic immobilization, actual damage rate caused by SCP-7468, political/legal volatility of a Class-D program) introduce notable uncertainty in recurring and contingency sizing.
