Initial capital expenses are approximately $1.27M driven by dedicated aviary construction, generator/HVAC/incineration and mobile-disposal equipment. Recurring annual costs are approximately $1.21M/yr driven primarily by staff wages, MTF deployments/logistics, and ongoing research/consumables.

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $1.2M/yr
83.0% probability / year
Routine year with no major incidents: normal staff, maintenance, patrols, and research/monitoring operations only.
no wild-population discovery routine monitoring & maintenance
🚨 Minor Incident $1.3M/yr
15.0% probability / year +$105K vs baseline
Localized wild population discovered requiring targeted MTF operations, mobile disposal deployments, limited environmental cleanup and amnestic administration to witnesses.
single moderate wild flock found 2–4 field deployments small amnestic/cover-up operation
🚨 Major Mass Eradication $2.2M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$1.0M vs baseline
Widespread wild populations discovered requiring multiple sustained eradication campaigns, large-scale mobile disposal, major environmental remediation and extensive amnestic/cover operations.
multiple large flocks across remote areas prolonged multi-region eradication extensive remediation & amnestic load
👥 Personnel 9 total
Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 2 [#4] Minimum dedicated perimeter guards for the aviary; wage assumptions based on 2 × $40k.
Research Scientist 2 [#5] Two Level-3 senior research staff to authorize experiments and oversee studies.
Research Technician 2 [#5] Junior researchers/technicians for day-to-day research and husbandry support.
Animal Care Technician / Husbandry 2 [#6] Daily care, feeding and health checks for captive flock; staffing estimated 1–2 FTEs (here 2).
Data Analyst / Surveillance Monitoring 1 [#20] 0.5–1 FTE analyst responsible for sensor/camera monitoring and secure logging (budgeted as ~1 FTE).
📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates derive from analyst ranges; many line items have wide ranges (e.g., mobile disposal, incineration, MTF deployments) and incident frequency is uncertain. Staffing and baseline facility costs are better defined, but major-event probabilities and remediation/amnestic scales remain uncertain.
