From the rest of the blog post it seems enough to buy a single M1 machine with 8+ GB of RAM, so my estimate is that it should be a bit over $1k for a basic Mac Mini + shipping + Apple Care.

I don't think we should exclude fund for developer time from the calculation, at least that's what I understood from this sentence in post:

> I would do it myself for a small amount of money.

Ah true, I got confused with "It can be either a machine provided and maintained by a third party, or alternatively a pot of money big enough to support the acquision of a machine and ongoing work of one of us." and conflated the "pot of money" for the machine with the total being asked for, my bad.
