One-time setup costs are dominated by secure vault construction, a high-containment incinerator, and a long-term endowment; ongoing annual costs are driven by research staff wages, specialized R&D to find 033-safe electronic storage, security staffing, and various recurring operational/compliance expenses.

Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line items and reasonable ranges, but many items (R&D outcomes, incident severity, endowment sizing) have wide ranges and contingent variability; hence medium confidence.
