Estimated one-time capital costs are approximately $5.27M driven primarily by specialized containment construction, secondary reinforcement, research imaging equipment, and a multi-million-dollar contingency reserve. Recurring annual costs are approximately $1.93M/yr driven by security staffing, research and conservation staff, utilities and ecological maintenance, and legal/cover operations.

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $1.9M/yr
80.0% probability / year
Normal year with no major incidents; routine maintenance, staffing, consumables and monitoring only.
no breaches routine maintenance scheduled research activity
🚨 Minor Incident $2.1M/yr
12.0% probability / year +$200K vs baseline
Small containment incident or localized damage requiring repairs, overtime, temporary research suspension and legal mitigation.
localized breach minor structural/vegetation damage staff injury requiring treatment
🚨 Major Breach $4.4M/yr
3.0% probability / year +$2.5M vs baseline
Significant containment breach leading to major property damage, extensive reconstruction, large-scale emergency response and public mitigation/cover operations.
large-scale breach structural failure significant public exposure
🚨 Research Breakthrough Requiring Scale Up $2.7M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$750K vs baseline
Significant research finding that requires scale-up of imaging, experimentation, or containment capability expansion.
novel imaging/analysis need scale-up of experiments additional specialized contracting

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line-item ranges and operational requirements enabling reasonable point estimates; major uncertainties remain in low-probability breach scale and contingency sizing, but recurring operating needs are well described.
