Initial one-time capital, equipment and contingency reserves dominate costs ( ~$159.3M one-time ), while steady-state operations require substantial staffing and specialized support (~$7.705M/yr). Primary drivers: temporal sink hardware & spares, portable response kits, continuous 24/7 security/watcher staffing, and large contingency reserves for timeline repair.

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line-item estimates for hardware, staffing and recurring costs, enabling a structured budget, but uncertainties remain around incident frequencies, per-transfer counts, and the scale/timing of contingency deployments which reduces confidence to medium.
