Estimated up-front capital is approximately $6.18 billion driven primarily by hardened underground construction, exascale compute and mirrored datacenters, specialized labs, and a large contingency reserve; annual operations are roughly $575 million driven by staff wages, continuous power/cooling for compute, long-term research and refresh cycles.

📋 Confidence Notes
The SCP describes highly anomalous, poorly bounded hazards (Integrated, Essomines, ANTIPODE device and global primary-format data effects). Cost ranges and structural needs are order-of-magnitude estimates; unknown anomalous behaviors and O5-level policy choices drive high uncertainty.
