One-time setup is modest (~$146k) for secure storage, mortuary/lab buildout, HAZMAT and contingency; main recurring drivers are staff wages and per-activation variable costs (capsule synthesis, mortuary handling, disposal, transport) leading to ~ $637.5k/yr baseline.

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line items and ranges but require assumptions about activation frequency (assumed 30/yr) and many midpoint selections; occluded probabilities and regional regulatory variance create moderate uncertainty.
