One-time setup
$190K
Annual recurring
$149K
Personnel
1.4
Estimated one-time setup costs are modest (~$190,000) for containment, medical equipment, IT and a contingency seed; recurring annual operations are moderate (~$149,430/year) driven primarily by medical staffing, research/monitoring, blood inventory and contingency reserves.
🏗️ One-Time Capital Costs Total: $190K
Contingency Seed Fund $100K
[#30] Seed contingency reserve for worst-case events, replacement of inventory, accidental loss/damage, or large-scale adverse events; mid-range seed chosen.

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $149K/yr
95.0% probability / year
Normal, uneventful year with standard monitoring, supplies, training and small research activity; no major incidents.
no major transfusion complications routine maintenance and training only
🚨 Minor Incident $174K/yr
4.0% probability / year +$25K vs baseline
One clinical complication requiring external hospital transfer, additional diagnostics, and modest legal/cover costs.
unexpected transfusion reaction or hemorrhage requiring external transfer small-scale legal/administrative response
🚨 Major Incident $349K/yr
1.0% probability / year +$200K vs baseline
Severe adverse outcome (delayed transfusion → neurological injury or prolonged ICU/long-term care) plus substantial legal/cover costs.
delayed transfusion causing brain injury prolonged ICU stay or long-term care and legal exposure
👥 Personnel 1.4 total
Role Count Notes
Physician / Medical Officer 0.1 [#8] Fractional FTE allocated for oversight, approvals and on-call monitoring.
Nurse 0.2 [#9] Nursing support for per-use monitoring and procedures (fractional allocation).
Security Officer / MTF Agent 0.3 [#21] Fractional guard allocation for storage and movement security.
Research Scientist 0.5 [#27] Research program staff time (fractional) for studies and MEDDOC updates.
Engineer / Maintenance 0.1 [#2, #16] Fractional maintenance support for HVAC/climate-control and emergency equipment upkeep.
Administrative Staff 0.2 [#6, #24] Administrative/IT/records support for MEDDOC publication, secure records and credentialing.
📋 Confidence Notes
Containment and equipment costs are well-described and produce moderate confidence; per-incident frequency and severity are uncertain (usage rates and incident rates inferred), so overall confidence is medium.
