Annual recurring
$9.0M
Personnel

One-time setup and capital (containment units, specialized OR and research fit-out, IT/security) are the main upfront costs (~$9.32M). Annual operating costs are dominated by medical throughput (surgeries, observation beds), staff wages, and cover/amnestic programs (~$9.00M/yr).
🏗️ One-Time Capital Costs Total: $9.3M
Equipment $3.7M
[#1, #2, #4, #11, #12, #13, #15, #20] Fabrication of 280 anatomically accurate containment units, integrated environmental control setup (hardware/setup portion), surgical/OR equipment, specimen freezers and archival hardware, per-unit sensor packages, initial PPE stock, field vehicles/mobile micro-surgery kits, and initial IT/security hardware.
Facilities $1.5M
[#3, #7, #14] Site modification and lab fit-out (soundproof rooms, BSL-2 containment), initial observation-ward room fit-out, and optional incinerator capex.
Cochlear Implant Contingency $1.2M
[#17] One-time contingency fund reserved for high-cost interventions (cochlear implants / major surgical rehabilitation) if required.
Contingency One Time $1.2M
[#23] One-time contingency (15% applied to one-time subtotal to cover unknowns and project management).
Initial Research And Lab Setup $650K
[#9, #10] Research capital (sequencing/EM/micro-CT access, lab buildout) and synthetic endolymph rig/formulation one-time setup.
Initial Coverup Incident $625K
[#16] Initial incident cover-up buy-in (payments, relocation/resettlement, legal/administrative setup for discovered incidents).
Emergency Stockpile $250K
[#19] Stockpile and rapid-expansion hardware / rapid-fabrication contract buy-in to expand containment capacity in a surge.
Training And Sop $100K
[#18] Initial SOP creation, staff training program and certification setup.
🔄 Annual Recurring Costs Total: $9.0M/yr
Supplies And Consumables $4.5M/yr
[#5, #7, #10, #13] Per-extraction operational costs (OR time, anesthesia, pathology), observation-ward occupancy at scale (bed-day costs), synthetic endolymph consumables, and recurring PPE/sterile kits.
Staff Wages $1.2M/yr
[#6] Dedicated medical personnel salaries (ENT surgeons, anesthesiologists, nurses/techs, audiologists) to maintain 24/7 extraction capability and observation capacity.
Contingency Recurring $1.2M/yr
[#23] Recurring contingency (15% applied to recurring subtotal to cover unexpected annual variations, surge costs, and unanticipated research needs).
Cover Story And Legal $1.1M/yr
[#8, #16, #22] Amnestic/psychological treatment program operating costs, ongoing legal/cover program costs and front-organization / insurance funding for predictable cover expenses.
Logistics And Transport $330K/yr
[#15, #19] Field response & transport team staffing/operations retainer plus per-operation consumables and rapid-response contract retainer for surge fabrication/transport.
Facilities Maintenance $299K/yr
[#2, #11, #12, #14, #20, #21] Environmental control energy & maintenance, freezer maintenance/power, sensor/monitor maintenance, routine waste/disposal service budget, IT/security ongoing costs, and incremental energy/utility overhead for containment wing.
Research And Monitoring $250K/yr
[#9] Ongoing research program staffing, consumables, and experiment costs (genomics/proteomics/EM/behavioral studies).
Hearing Rehabilitation $100K/yr
[#17] Ongoing set-aside for audiology follow-up, hearing aids, vestibular monitoring and modest rehabilitation services.
Training Refreshers $40K/yr
[#18] Annual refresher training, drills and staff certification renewals.

Role Count Notes
ENT Surgeon 2 [#6] Two ENT surgeons trained in micro-extraction; salaries and on-call premiums included in staff_wages.
Anesthesiologist 2 [#6] Two anesthesiologists to support OR schedule and emergency extractions; salaries included in staff_wages.

📋 Confidence Notes
Costs are based on analyst-provided ranges and a set of mid-point assumptions; high uncertainty remains around annual extraction throughput, observation occupancy, and political/cover complexity, so estimates are medium confidence.
