So what does it cost to start a root CA, get properly audited (as I see the

Nod. From the audit perspective alone, the rule of thumb we worked with
was minimum $0.25M for the audits alone. That didn't include the work
the CA did, just the fees to the auditors. From there, it isn't a
stretch to reach Peter's number above for the total cost.
