📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates derive from analyst midpoints and explicit line-item suggestions but depend heavily on assumed operational tempo (≈2 surgeries/month), the chosen disposal model (on-site incinerator vs contract), and the value/frequency of supplied devices; contingency/reserve amounts add judgment-based variability.
