One-time capital, contingency and reserve funds dominate (hundreds of millions) while baseline annual operations are driven by staff wages, security, R&D monitoring and containment maintenance (~tens of millions/year). Major breach or aggressive R&D scale-up can add hundreds of millions in a single year.

Confidence Notes
Estimates are low-confidence due to highly anomalous behavior, unknown primary containment mechanics (non-Foundation devices), wide cost ranges in analyst notes, and unquantifiable tail risks which dominate capital planning.
