One-time capital expenditure is dominated by pocket-dimension construction, SRAs, reactor and major anomalous-device fabrication (total CAPEX ~ $23.56B). Recurring annual operations (salaries, maintenance, security, packaging and logistics) are ~ $1.325B, with expected annual cost (probability-weighted) ~ $1.454B due to nonzero risk of incidents.

📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates use midpoints of widely varying analyst ranges. High uncertainty arises from unique anomalous devices (SRAs, XACTS, Everhart resonators), R&D unknowns, potential non-linear replacement costs, and variable distribution-site counts. Many figures are order-of-magnitude estimates rather than precise bids.
