Value chain · CLM-0388
In plain terms
This is the full list of places where this calculation had to approximate, guess, or simply could not go further, collected in one place so nobody has to hunt through six other records to find them.
The claim as recorded
This restatement's principal limitations are: (1) currency and inflation figures are recalled, not freshly fetched (CLM-0376); (2) the CRF-ratio rescaling method carries roughly +/-25-30% additional uncertainty at large rate/life changes, validated in restate-lcoe.py Section 2 (CLM-0377); (3) Roland Berger/OHB cannot be rescaled for discount rate or asset life at all (CLM-0372 (low confidence)); (4) Caltech's asset life is an assumed proxy, not a stated figure (CLM-0375 (low confidence)); (5) system-size effects are estimated, not calculated (CLM-0383); (6) NASA's multi-variable "competitive" sensitivity could only be approximated, not rebuilt bottom-up (CLM-0374 (low confidence)).
Evidence behind this: T0-ANALYSIS, so no CALC is owed: this record DERIVES NO NUMBER. It is a limitations summary, collecting six caveats already stated in six other claims. Characterisation taken from synthesis/calcs.md's own disposition table, which sorted these records and recorded that they carry no arithmetic of their own. Method, stated here so a reader can dispute it: the judgement is made over the claims and calculations named in src, and rests on no quantity this record computes.
What it assumes
No assumptions are recorded against this claim.
Where it comes from
