Initial capital requirements are dominated by large financial reserves and construction of hardened, MIMIR-compatible containment infrastructure (~$5.8B one-time). Annual operating costs (~$217M/yr) are driven by legal/cover operations, ongoing human capital (analysts, strike teams, forensic accountants), and recurring market/intervention and buyback allocations.

📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are based on analyst midpoints from wide ranges; many major cost drivers (reserves, GOI engagements, RK-class interventions) are highly scenario-dependent and thus carry significant uncertainty. Operational recurring costs (staffing, legal/cover) are better-constrained, but strategic reserves dominate one-time uncertainty.
