Implement actual events reconciliation system to match real prosecution events against template-generated pathways
Change Subsequent Filing Volume calculation from a join probability to a marginal probability to better reflect real-world filing likelihoods.
Enable users to upload CSV files to S3

Patent annuity (maintenance fee) schedules vary significantly between jurisdictions. E.g. Germany (starts year 3) vs Japan (starts year 4). Grace periods alos vary.
Allow users to create and manage custom scenario templates
Add visual charts for protection comparisons between scenarios
Add visual charts for cost comparisons between scenarios

Add advanced filtering options for scenarios list (by status, date range, type, etc.)
Add export functionality for reports (PDF, Excel, CSV formats)
The report spinner has polling and a 'min' duration of 800ms.
