One-time setup
$565K
Annual recurring
$591K
Personnel
8
Estimated first-year one-time setup costs are $565,000 driven primarily by construction of a sound‑proof, watertight containment chamber and associated specialized equipment; ongoing annual operations are estimated at $590,750/yr, driven mainly by security staffing and site overhead/maintenance.

📋 Confidence Notes
Detailed analyst estimates provided for nearly every line item (construction, staffing, equipment, and recurring service costs), enabling a high‑confidence aggregation; remaining uncertainty arises from contingency sizing and event frequency assumptions.
