Estimated one-time capital costs are dominated by secure containment construction and large contingency/rescue reserves (~$486M total one-time), while recurring annual costs are driven by specialized Arc operation, R&D, staff wages, logistics (water/provisioning and retrieval operations) and maintenance (~$23.65M/yr).

📋 Confidence Notes
Line items are provided in analyst notes with explicit estimates for most categories, but anomalous technologies (Arc energy per activation, warhead yield and remediation costs, unusual consumable cadence) introduce material uncertainty; estimates are conservative.
