📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are low-confidence due to the SCP's highly conceptual, semiotic nature, wide value ranges in analyst notes, and large unquantifiable geopolitical/ecological externalities; many line items are contingency pools or speculative programs with order-of-magnitude uncertainty.
