The CFO's statement is more about a spending priority than a definitive cost ratio; a future plan has a reliability score of maybe 3 out of 10 for proving actual infrastructure vs. regulatory costs. It doesn't mean the compliance costs are 1/5th or 1/10th of infrastructure spend, just that resource allocation leans one way. For example, if I say I'm putting 80% of my budget into new monitors, it doesn't mean cables only cost 20%, it just means cables aren't the current focus.
