The six-flag structure is the published per-terminal uncertainty disclosure. Together they answer: is the sample large enough to rank, is the rank stable across bootstrap iterations, does the tier label hold under resampling, are the events concentrated in too few voyages, and is the snapshot coverage adequate for the cohort window.
