Open source transcript

HOW CONFIDENT ARE YOU IN YOUR ANALYSIS?

VERY CONFIDENT.

GOOD.) UNLESS I USED THE WRONG DISCOUNT RATE, WHICH IS HARD TO KNOW.

BUT OTHERWISE, IT'S SOLID?

EXCEPT FOR THE INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE COSTS, WHICH ARE WILD GUESSES.

AND WE DON'T KNOW IF WE SIZED THE PROJECT RIGHT, SO COSTS COULD BE DOUBLE OR TRIPLE.
