This is a different question from the range above. The band asks how well the inventory is known; this asks what happens if a modelling choice turns out to be wrong. Binder replacement dominates both, which is why it is the first lever in the scenario builder and the first clause in the specification.

Normalisation exposes where the program is disproportionately impactful. Fossil fuel depletion tracks close to carbon, while ozone depletion is comparatively minor.

Earthworks carries a disproportionate share of smog formation and eutrophication because of diesel plant and spoil handling, even though it is a smaller share of carbon.
