How it bears on the outcome
| Explanation | Fit | Why |
|---|---|---|
| O0 No meaningful speed-up | Fits weak | A First Nation with standing on the likely route weighing a challenge is consistent with possible delay, but no filing has been made. |
| O1 Faster, but the extra output goes mostly elsewhere | Neutral weak | A possible legal challenge does not bear on where extra output goes. |
| O2 Faster, and more volume reaches the US (this level or higher) | Neutral weak | A possible legal challenge does not bear on volume to the US. |
| O3 Locked-in preferential terms for the US | Neutral weak | Nothing here bears on US preferential terms. |
