Estimating future timelines

This paper takes the topic map of an earlier strategic brief and reprojects it across four near-term horizons: 6 months (Nov 2026), 12 months (May 2027), 24 months (May 2028), and 36 months (May 2029). Each claim carries an explicit confidence or accuracy score so the reader can separate what is already happening from what is being inferred.
