One-time capital/setup costs are approximately $4.25M driven by site construction (fencing, vault, power) and equipment; recurring annual costs are about $3.73M driven by staffing, contingency reserve, and ongoing operations (security, MTF, research, disposal, and cover operations).

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $3.7M/yr
64.0% probability / year
Normal year of operations with no major incidents; routine manifestations are handled within standard staffing and budgets.
routine operations scheduled retrievals no containment incidents
🚨 Minor Incident $3.9M/yr
15.0% probability / year +$200K vs baseline
Localized complications during retrieval/exhumation (extra overtime, additional disposals, limited medical response) requiring modest emergency spend.
complicated exhumation localized contamination overtime and additional disposals
🚨 Research Campaign $4.1M/yr
18.0% probability / year +$400K vs baseline
Major investigative campaign (deep drilling, large coordinated exhumations, extended archive operations) that adds significant episodic costs.
drilling campaign large-scale exhumations extended field deployments
🚨 Major Breach $5.2M/yr
3.0% probability / year +$1.5M vs baseline
Hazardous animate manifestation or containment incident requiring large emergency response (MTF surge, medical casualties, remediation, PR/legal costs).
hazardous animate event civilian exposure multi-MTF response

📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates use midpoints of analyst-provided ranges and explicit line-item guidance; many costs (incident severity, frequency of major campaigns, land purchase vs lease) are uncertain, so confidence is medium.
