Initial one-time setup is dominated by site acquisition, perimeter construction and permanent facility buildout (~$78M total one-time). Recurring costs (~$26.15M/yr) are driven by long-term staffing, R&D/instrument ops, international monitoring and program-level contingency/monitoring overhead.

Confidence Notes
Estimates derived from analyst ranges; many items (R&D needs, site acquisition in peri-urban London, and contingency reserves) have wide ranges and high uncertainty. Staffing and routine ops are better-defined, but anomaly-specific R&D and escalation scenarios are speculative.
