Okay, I think I've got a good strategy here. I'll make four separate lists - one for tangible needs, one for intangible, one for direct, and one for indirect. That way I can be sure I cover all the bases and provide clear, organized responses.

Okay, let's see if I can keep all these categories straight. Tangible costs are the physical stuff, intangible are the invisible ones, direct are the production-related, and indirect are the support costs. Got it!
