Estimated one-time capital and setup costs total $26700000, driven by contingency reserve, heavy equipment (turrets, robotics, vehicles), research outpost/refit and protective suits. Annual recurring costs are approximately $8095000/yr, with personnel salaries, maintenance/consumables and cover-story/legal operations as the main ongoing drivers.

📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates use midpoints from analyst ranges and explicitly-stated line items; core recurring and capital items are well-described but contingent events (drilling, bombing frequency, catastrophic escalation) are highly uncertain, so overall confidence is medium.
