Captain Kirby's Proposal

Expected annual

$11.3M

One-time setup

$39.8M

Annual recurring

$10.3M

📋 Confidence Notes

Estimates are low-confidence due to large ranges in analyst notes, high uncertainty around memetic/antimemetic R&D, dependence on unknown GOI interactions and the catastrophic-tail risk (Greenland remediation / Caesar-scale events). Many costs are posture-dependent and contingent.
