📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are grounded in detailed analyst line items but many items are presented as wide ranges and depend on uncertain operational tempo (number of active cordons, frequency of sweeps, and scale of remediation). Anomalous behavior and episodic disposal campaigns increase uncertainty.
