📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line items and ranges, enabling reasonable aggregation, but the anomalous and scenario-dependent nature of SCP-9054 (demanifestation, infrastructure risk, political exposure) creates uncertainty in frequency and scale of major incidents, so estimates retain moderate uncertainty.
