Initial capital expenditures are dominated by land control and bespoke, non-silicon construction/engineering; mid-range first-year capital plus setup costs are several million USD. Ongoing annual costs are driven by staff wages, R&D/monitoring, insurance/cover operations, and specialized maintenance (~$1.36M/yr).

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line items and ranges, enabling a defensible mid-range estimate; however wide ranges on land costs, custom non-silicon construction premiums, and the low-frequency/high-impact breach risk reduce precision.
