[#21] Annual self-insurance reserve for liability and catastrophic events where commercial insurance is unavailable/insufficient.

[#17, #18] Ongoing contracted instrument access (if not purchased) and continuing R&D budget (scientist salaries, consumables, experiments). Sum of contracted-access estimate and ongoing R&D budget.

[#20, #28] Legal, public-affairs, cover-up, compensation funds, permits and ongoing regulatory/community-relations costs.
