Acidfrog's Proposal

Expected annual

$165.2M

One-time setup

$1.2B

Annual recurring

$147.1M

Personnel

📋 Confidence Notes

Estimates derived from analyst ranges and a moderate operational assumption set; significant uncertainty remains in counts of maintenance teams and number/scale of dispersed sites, simulator rebuild scope, and energy rates—hence medium confidence.
