Initial capital expenditures are dominated by the specialized reality-suppression locker, robotic remote-handling systems, and a contingency reserve; recurring costs are driven by staff wages, research/monitoring (memetic agent production and experiments), and on-site rapid-response capabilities.

🚨 Catastrophic Breach $7.2M/yr
0.5% probability / year +$5.0M vs baseline
Major containment failure or misuse resulting in large-scale reality alteration requiring deployment of contingency funds, multi-site response, and extensive cover-up.

📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are order-of-magnitude and rely on ranges provided in analyst notes; major uncertainties remain around the maturity/capacity of 'reality-suppression' technology and the required size of contingency reserves, producing low confidence.
