[#1, #5, #6, #7, #9, #10, #15, #16, #18, #23] Hardware and installed systems: anti-tamper/access control for vault, remote robotic insertion rig, non-audio/tamper-proof cameras, dB/meters and initial PPE stock, Faraday containers/secure media safes, initial digital-forensics/DLP appliances, secure transport case, destructive/neutralization equipment, on-site video storage hardware, and secure communications tooling. Sum of listed hardware line items.

[#1, #4, #9, #24] Vault retrofit, heavy soundproof chamber structural work and HVAC/attenuation installation, air-gapped lab physical buildout, and backup archival infrastructure (physical shelving/space). Estimate allocates ~$25k for vault retrofit, ~$185k for heavy acoustic chamber including HVAC, ~$70k for air-gapped lab build, and ~$6k for cross-site archival setup.

[#14] Initial SOP creation, RAISA coordination setup, memetic safety workflow development, and initial staff training course/materials.

[#17] Initial stock of archival casings, humidity packs, tamper seals, and PPE starter packs.

[#2, #11, #13, #22] Salaries and benefits: security guard pool (6 guards, Site-76 quality, incl. overhead), internal cyber response FTEs, stenographer/transcription staffing pool, and research payroll (memetic specialists/audio engineers/software engineers).

[#19] Annual allocation toward PR/compensation/residency for small-to-midsize leak remediation and victim remediation fund (scalable in scenarios).

[#21] Annual reserve allocation for emergency network shutdowns, restore-from-clean-backups, overtime IT labor and logistics (small/medium event reserve).

[#25] Annual allocation toward a larger multi-year reserve for worst-case large-scale remediation (planning allocation; large events budgeted in scenarios).

[#3] On-call armed response / rapid containment team retainer or equivalent internal payroll allocation.

[#12] Annual legal retainer and takedown/PR budget for DMCA-like takedowns, platform outreach, and small incident remediation (incident-specific costs handled in scenarios).

[#11] External incident response firm retainer for rapid network isolation/forensic cleanup (separate from internal cyber FTE wages in staff_wages).

[#9] Annual IT administration/maintenance for air-gapped lab, Faraday enclosures management, and secure-media workflows.

[#20] Institutional insurance and special endorsements (property damage, personal injury, cyber incidents) allocated annually.

[#8, #22] Ongoing non-pay research costs: medical surveillance program allocation (audiograms, occupational health) and R&D consumables/test materials and monitoring (excludes salaries captured in staff_wages).

[#10] Annual licenses/support for DLP/content-scanning appliances and specialized forensic tooling tuned to audio-hazard detection.

[#16] Annual consumables and experimental budget allocated to attempted neutralization/destructive testing and associated risk mitigation.

[#1, #4] HVAC/HVAC calibration and structural/attenuation maintenance for archival vault and soundproof chamber.

[#7, #17, #18] Annual replacement of PPE and hearing-protection consumables, archival replacement packs/consumables, and video-storage media maintenance.

[#5] Annual maintenance, calibration, and spare-parts for remote manipulation/robotic insertion rig.

[#23] Annual enforcement/compliance audits and policy rollout support for secure communications and upload bans.

[#15] Annual budget for occasional secure transport movements (per-movement staffing and logistics averaged annually).

[#24] Annual recordkeeping, metadata-only archival auditing and cross-site custody accounting.
