Scope lock. Functional recreation of the documented facility in Sweden using current construction methods and 2026 prices, preserving the documented capacity, protection, autonomy and redundancy. Ex VAT; excluding land, financing, remediation, classified mission equipment and data-centre hardware. The article establishes an 1899–1907 rock fort for roughly 300 personnel, long internal galleries and support rooms, blasted storm ditches, eight stated principal gun positions, electric light, water closets and telephone service.

Transitional limitation. SEK 107,364,688 is still a blanket concept contingency, not probability-weighted expected risk. This is why the amount is labelled provisional. The audited fort rock WBS remains the central scope ledger.
Inclusive historic fort; Götiska battery is also represented as a component record.
