Initial capital costs are dominated by specialized containment bays, a significant contingency/reserve, and initial R&D; ongoing annual costs are driven by salaries, digital monitoring/takedown, and legal/cover operations. Estimated one-time setup is roughly $32.5M with ~ $11.28M/yr recurring baseline operations.
