Initial capital outlay is dominated by land acquisition, containment construction, EM-hardening and large contingency/reserve funds; recurring annual costs are driven primarily by personnel wages, ongoing research/monitoring, and energy/transport logistics. Baseline first-year (capital + ops) is roughly $36M with steady-state annual operations ~ $11.1M.

📋 Confidence Notes
Notes and the article provide detailed qualitative requirements and ranges, but many line items have wide ranges (e.g., aircraft, literal anti-static grid density) and contingency choices materially change totals; thus medium confidence.
