First-year setup (one-time) costs are dominated by capital reserve and equipment/research setup (~$1.16M one-time); annual recurring operations are driven by staffing, MTF readiness and research (~$1.23M/yr). Major cost drivers are staffing (embedded agents, analysts, MTF), research team sustainment, and cover/PR contingencies.
