Initial, one-time containment and research capital is large due to specialized facilities (high-temperature/chemical cells, safe archival vaults, satellite constellation) and an HPC Laplace cluster; recurring costs are driven by specialized staff wages, satellite ops/amortization, and emergency reserve replenishment.

Confidence Notes
Estimates are medium confidence: many line items have wide published ranges (noted by analyst) and several high-cost contingency reserves (items 14 and 28) are policy choices rather than fixed engineering costs. Satellite and Laplace HPC costs dominate uncertainty; incident probabilities (used in scenarios) are qualitative in the source and thus approximate.
