Estimated one-time capital and contingency costs total about $21.03M, driven by chamber construction, corrosion‑hardened equipment, robotic handling and large remediation/insurance reserves; ongoing annual operating costs are roughly $2.21M/yr driven primarily by staff wages, HVAC/desiccant operation, consumables and legal/administrative overhead.

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $2.2M/yr
90.2% probability / year
Normal uneventful year with no containment incidents; routine operations, maintenance, training and consumable replenishment.

🚨 Minor Incident $2.3M/yr
8.0% probability / year +$60K vs baseline
Small humidity excursion or limited secretion event requiring emergency desiccant deployment, minor repairs and consumable replacements.

🚨 Major Breach $2.7M/yr
1.5% probability / year +$500K vs baseline
Significant containment breach with substantial liner/equipment replacement, localized structural repairs, contractor remediation and legal response.

🚨 Catastrophic Breach $12.2M/yr
0.2% probability / year +$10.0M vs baseline
Full containment failure requiring site remediation, demolition, environmental cleanup and invocation of contingency/insurance reserves.

Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 10 [#11] 24/7 armed cleared personnel coverage (three-shift rotation; count chosen consistent with wage total).
Containment Technician / Maintenance 4 [#12] Technicians for daily checks, HVAC/desiccant handling, liner replacements and maintenance (FTE count aligned with wage estimate).
Research Scientist 2 [#13] Restricted-study researchers/analysts for monitoring and permitted experiments (headcount aligned with wage estimate).
📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates derived from analyst-provided ranges using midpoint assumptions; hardware and staffing costs are reasonably well-constrained but contingency/reserve sizing and incident frequencies are highly uncertain, so confidence is medium.
