Initial setup is modest (hundreds of thousands) with ongoing annual costs driven primarily by resident compensation, contingency/response budgets, and periodic mobile operations; optional advanced in-situ lab purchases and large contingency reserves are the main potential capital spikes.

Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide concrete line items and ranges for most costs, but uncertainties remain about resupply strategy, frequency of civilian encounters, and whether optional advanced lab equipment or recurring contingency replenishments will be purchased; those unknowns justify a medium confidence.
