Stated by the game in three places read in the French client: the Battlework's tooltip, its Codex entry and its tooltip in the tutorial. The slot display '10/1' seen in a recorded match agrees with it; reading '10/1' as these two costs is MoG Intel's interpretation.
Confirmed B

Number shown on its slot (slot 2) in one recorded match, next to the supplies symbol. '10/1' is copied as displayed; later in the same match the slot shows '1'. Meaning unresolved.
