3	Reconcile conflicts	150,000 versus 240,000 registry reports are not used for plug-in TAM; airport fleet claims require VIN validation.
4	Size only supported quantities	Current TAM null; launch pool is a threshold; executable SOM zero.
5	Model transparent sensitivities	2030 shares and economics are EVS assumptions; nominal FJD, VAT-exclusive, pre-tax.
6	Convert uncertainty to gates	Data, paid demand, capability, compliance, site and continuation evidence.
