Estimated one-time startup capital is approximately $11.15 million, driven by containment cell retrofits, lab build-out, and heavy-duty equipment; ongoing annual operations are about $5.35 million, driven primarily by 24/7 security/medical staffing, R&D, HVAC/utility costs and contingency reserves.

Confidence Notes
Estimates are derived directly from analyst line-item ranges and midpoints; many items have wide site-dependent ranges (cell retrofit scope, frequency of collar detonations, level of legal/black-budget activity) so uncertainty remains but core recurring drivers are well-identified.
