From the transcript
If we propose a contingency budget, will it make it easy for— easier for decision makers to just go to the contingency budget? I know that's not the goal, but that's just a concern. And I don't— there's probably pros to the plan, but I just want to put it out there that to make sure that we've thought through that, that is which way is more effective. And I don't have the answer, but I wanted to kind of see if you all have, you know, reasoning for that, because the alternative is that we bring up the contingency later, right? Conversation, which I'm sure— and you work in this world, so you probably thought about it, but I guess I was just curious of the reasons for this being the, the plan.
