Initial one-time capitalization is approximately $10,055,000, with recurring operating costs of roughly $3,388,000/year; main cost drivers are facility/equipment buildout, specialized staff wages, ongoing research/monitoring, and large contingency/reserve funds for incident response and escalation.

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $3.4M/yr
92.5% probability / year
Normal operational year with no major incidents; routine monitoring, maintenance, research and readiness costs only.
no breaches routine research activity normal supply/maintenance cycles
🚨 Minor Incident $3.6M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$200K vs baseline
Localized containment breach or accidental exposure requiring repairs, targeted incinerations, limited medical costs and temporary intensified surveillance.
limited breach of single cell repair of seals/ballistic glass small-scale emergency incinerations
🚨 Major Breach $8.4M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$5.0M vs baseline
Significant containment failure (multi-person infection or major structural damage) requiring site reconstruction, mass incinerations, large emergency deployments and legal/cover remediation.
multi-aspect containment failure Sector-level reconstruction mass incineration and MTF deployment
🚨 Catastrophic Escalation $23.4M/yr
0.5% probability / year +$20.0M vs baseline
Uncontrolled spread or inability to neutralize pathogen triggers large-scale eradication campaign or long-term relocation and indefinite high-cost containment (national/international response).

📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates derived from analyst-provided ranges and standard containment cost lines; many line items have wide ranges and major contingency items are highly uncertain (historical breach increases uncertainty), so medium confidence is assigned.
