Interesting, could you point me to the source of the $250k?

There isn’t a source. It’s just a rough estimate based on what agency work and their internal salaried time might cost.

So it's just a random number. Based on the CI projects I've been involved in its around $1M.

It’s based on projects I’ve been involved in, but yes, the potential amount could range a lot higher.
