Initial capital expenditure is approximately $4.01M for a dedicated containment chamber, advanced lighting/control hardware, non-visual sensors, robotics and power redundancy. Recurring annual costs are approximately $6.07M driven primarily by staff wages, ongoing R&D, maintenance, contingency reserves and cover/legal operations.

Confidence Notes
Estimates are directly derived from analyst-provided ranges and the contained article; capital items and staffing estimates are reasonably well-specified, but large uncertainty remains around R&D scale, contingency needs and frequency/severity of breach incidents.
