Let $L,c$ be natural numbers with $c\le L$ , and let

D(L,c)=\sum_{r=0}^{c}\binom{L}{r}

be the number of masks in the subset downset of cutoff $c$ . Let $T_{\mathrm{box}}(L,c)$ be the implementation's time budget for constructing and retaining every prefix-zeta stage, processing coordinates in increasing order. This budget includes downset-size computation, the $L$ zeta passes, and their fixed overhead. Then

T_{\mathrm{box}}(L,c)\le 6000(L+1)^4\bigl(D(L,c)+1\bigr).

The estimate supplies the preprocessing cost for the retained stages used by canonical box queries.
