ROUNDERHOUSE's Gold Proposal
Expected annual
$213.1M
One-time setup
$838.9M
Annual recurring
$206.3M
Personnel
200
Estimated one-time setup costs are ~USD 704M driven by reactor repairs, BSL-4 and lab buildouts, forensics/foundry tooling, and a large data/asset write-off; recurring annual costs are ~USD 206M driven by staff payroll, large classified R&D programs, reactor fuel/maintenance and ongoing BSL-4 / laboratory operations.
One-Time Capital Costs
Total: $838.9M
Annual Recurring Costs

Cost Scenarios
📊
Baseline
(baseline)
$206.3M/yr
Normal operational year with no major incidents; ongoing research, containment and maintenance only.
no major breaches
routine research activity
stable containment
🚨
Minor Incident
$211.3M/yr
Localized incident (lab accident, small breach, or short-term isotope/fuel contamination) requiring emergency response, temporary surge staffing and repairs.
laboratory accident
small containment breach
emergency repairs / medevac
🚨
Major Breach
$506.3M/yr
Major containment failure, large-scale data/asset loss or hostile assault leading to personnel losses, large asset write-offs and sustained recovery operations.
city-wide breach / large-scale theft
activation or misuse of Mekhane's Kiss
catastrophic data/asset loss

Confidence Notes
Estimates use midpoint values from wide, speculative ranges provided in analyst notes. Many items (reactor fuel, isotope procurement, classified R&D, contingency pools and catastrophic write-offs) are highly variable and scenario-dependent; containment stability and political factors are uncertain, so confidence is low.
