One-time setup and retrofit costs are substantial (~$7.29M estimated) driven by sarcophagus construction, historic-preservation retrofits, specialized equipment, and a large contingency/insurance reserve; recurring annual costs are dominated by staffed medical and security wages, emergency readiness, and amortized capital reserves (~$3.35M/yr).

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line items and ranges enabling a reasoned mid-point estimate, but many items (artifact conservation, insurance reserve sizing, and incident probabilities) are highly uncertain and range widely; this yields moderate confidence.
