How it bears on the outcome
| Explanation | Fit | Why |
|---|---|---|
| O0 No meaningful speed-up | Neutral weak | A toll settlement on an existing pipeline is routine regulation; terms are unverified and it fits all outcomes equally. |
| O1 Faster, but the extra output goes mostly elsewhere | Neutral weak | Routine toll approval; nothing about destination of extra output. |
| O2 Faster, and more volume reaches the US (this level or higher) | Neutral weak | Routine toll approval; nothing about US volume. |
| O3 Locked-in preferential terms for the US | Neutral weak | Nothing here bears on US preferential terms. |
