Initial setup is capital-intensive due to physical containment modifications, secure IT/AI/sensor installation, and large contingency reserves; ongoing costs are dominated by security staffing, medical/psychological support, and legal/PR retainers. Baseline recurring costs are roughly $3.7M/year, with one-time/setup and reserve capital around $10.8M in this estimate.

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line-item ranges for nearly every cost driver (staffing, legal/PR, medical, sensors/AI and contingency reserves), allowing reasonably high confidence in category mapping and mid-range estimates; uncertainty remains in incident frequency/severity which is modeled in scenarios.
