Initial capital outlay is dominated by secure facility buildout, robotics/CCTV-AI development, and large contingency reserves; total one-time setup is estimated at $141,675,000. Ongoing annual costs are driven primarily by personnel, continued research/monitoring, legal/cover-up readiness and maintenance of robotics/monitoring systems (~$6,750,000/yr).

📋 Confidence Notes
Core capital and staffing costs are based on explicit analyst ranges and are moderately well-defined; however the memetic transmission tail-risks and policy/legal contingency costs are highly uncertain, producing significant variance in extreme scenarios.
