| Source | Guide derivation from explicitly assumed unit-price and capacity sensitivities; these are illustrative allowances, not observed quotes. · Appendix B, “Illustrative — stated assumptions” and component BOM. 198 PB decimal usable hot-storage allowance and subtotal (Chapters 9.6/9.8). See the claim derivation for operands and rounding. |
| Derivation | Assume 2 PB usable per 1,024 GPU packages: 101,376/1,024 = 99; 99 × 2 PB = 198 PB = 198,000,000 decimal GB. Multiply by assumed $0.20–0.40/usable GB = $39.6–79.2M; display one significant figure because capacity is approximate. |
