One-time setup
$7.4M
Annual recurring
$5.2M
Personnel

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide line-item ranges and working figures for most categories (medium confidence). Uncertainty remains in frequency of incidents, final scope of Site-576 upgrades, demolition necessity and long-term R&D outcomes, which prevents a high-confidence rating.
