| 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. 150–250 PB decimal usable object-tier allowance; unrounded upper endpoint $12.5M (Chapter 9.6). See the claim derivation for operands and rounding. |
| Derivation | Assume independent capacity/price endpoints: 150,000,000 GB × $0.02/GB = $3M; 250,000,000 GB × $0.05/GB = $12.5M. One-significant-figure display: about $3M to $10M. The rounded upper endpoint is not a $10M spending cap. |
