Accounted for is doing all the work when the actual line is we added a number to the spreadsheet in case this blows up. Reasonable principle that your country pays means they budgeted for retaliation but the negotiation part is just we're open to which translates to we haven't called anyone in Brussels yet.

    Accounted for styled into fiscal rigor when the actual deliverable is placeholder with three zeros attached. You can frame it as modeling risk when retaliation as footnote just means someone asked what if they do it back and the answer landed as line item before anyone gamed out the actual phone call.
