Upfront containment requires substantial capital construction and technical hardening (~$7.7M one-time), driven by reinforced structural work, HVAC/power, and a large contingency reserve. Annual operations are dominated by personnel, secure compute/AI ops, and cover-up/diplomatic expenses (~$4.79M/year).

Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line items and ranges, allowing mid-range estimates, but frequency of interment events and severity of potential breaches are uncertain and many costs (contingency, diplomatic exposure) have wide ranges.
