Estimated one-time setup is approximately $21,855,000,000 driven primarily by construction of Varuna-class vessels, long-term sequestration infrastructure, capture hardware and power plants; recurring operations run roughly $1,572,000,000 per year driven by ship O&M, staffing, research programs, and logistics/monitoring. Hidden/covert overhead and contingency reserves are major cost drivers and materially increase both one-time and recurring budgets.

Confidence Notes
Cost ranges are based on high-uncertainty space- and anomaly-related estimates provided in analyst notes. Physical scale and energetic risks are well-identified but many line items (Varuna-class costs, reactor/fusion installs, planetary-defense execution) are speculative and dependent on procurement choices, so confidence is medium.
