I totally agree with you that this is a complex project with a lot of costs. Still, it's hard for me to fathom where so much money could go. I mean, if you give 100k people 5 top-of-the-line wearables over 7 years (maybe $1500/person); hire 250 experts, each of whom charges $250k/year; and allocate $15m/year on AWS hosting bills... you still wind up at "only" about $700m. I'm sure the money went somewhere. I'd be really curious to see a breakdown of where. |

Table down at the bottom. As of 2011, 60% of the spend money was spent at the study sites themselves. From the text of that report, it sounds like recruitment was very expensive, which isn't surprising.
