Initial containment requires a few-million-dollar one-time buildout dominated by chamber construction, specialized HVAC/fire/monitoring systems, and a large contingency reserve; recurring annual costs (~$2.6M/yr) are driven by specialist research teams, security wages, and ongoing information-hazard mitigation (analysis, secure storage, legal/PR).

Confidence Notes
Large uncertainties remain in paper production rate, the true cognitive/memetic hazard of the writings, and local site-specific construction costs; many analyst estimates are wide ranges and scenario probabilities are judgement-based.
