Initial capital costs are dominated by large-scale RF-shielded room construction and contingency reserves; recurring costs are dominated by multi-year research and 24/7 signal monitoring/MTF readiness.
🏗️ One-Time Capital Costs Total: $369.7M
Facilities $354.8M
[#11, #12, #31] Quarantine room construction/retrofit (10 rooms @ $350,000 each = $3.5M), one RF-absorbing test chamber (~$1.25M), and a scale-up construction line for 1,000 RF-shielded rooms ($350,000,000) as an explicit scale-up reserve.
Initial Research And Lab Setup $5.0M
[#13] Neurosurgery & neuroimaging equipment (MRI/fMRI + OR upgrades and stereotactic tools) estimated at ~$5,000,000 for initial buildout and integration.
Containment Reserve Initial $5.0M
[#28] Initial contingency/reserve fund recommended ($2M–$10M); chosen midpoint $5M as a pre-funded rapid-response reserve.
Equipment $4.1M
[#1, #5, #6, #8, #10, #15, #16, #17, #19] RF monitoring hardware for 3 major centers (~$300k total), 2 MTF DF vehicles ($400k), purchase of small helicopter ($1,000,000), Level 3 suits for inventory (~$650k), initial RF specimen container stock/tooling (~$375k), non-lethal capture kit (~$125k), secure transport/stretchers & vehicle (~$230k), decontamination equipment (autoclave/incinerator ~$400k), initial drone/robot fleet (~$600k).
Signal Analysis Software $650K
[#2] One-off development of central signal analysis, detection/classification and triangulation dashboard (midpoint of $300k–$1M range).
Mtf Initial Training $200K
[#7] Initial specialized MTF training courses and readiness training (one-time, midpoint of $100k–$300k).
Catastrophic Unquantified $0
[#32] Large-scale widespread prevalence costs are explicitly unquantified here; set to 0 in this budget but flagged as potentially multi‑billion if realized.

Psychological And Hr $300K/yr
[#22] Psychological care, HR support, hazard compensation and related costs for quarantined/confined staff (~$300k/year midpoint).
Containment Reserve Replenishment $0/yr
[#28] Contingency reserve replenishment: recommend replenishment as spent; baseline recurring replenishment set to $0 until expenditures occur.
⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $12.9M/yr
84.0% probability / year
Normal year with ongoing monitoring, research, and readiness but no major incidents or large-scale outbreaks.
steady low caseload no major breach continuous monitoring operations
🚨 Minor Incident $13.7M/yr
15.0% probability / year +$850K vs baseline
Localized outbreak or containment breach requiring multiple recovery operations and legal/PR response but not large-scale construction.
localized breach several host deaths and organism exits MTF surge and extra recovery ops
🚨 Moderate Outbreak $462.9M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$450.0M vs baseline
Rapid escalation requiring construction of large numbers of RF-shielded quarantine rooms and major scaling of operations.
mass discovery of infected hosts requirement to build 1,000 RF-shielded rooms major expansion of staffing and research
👥 Personnel 38 total
Role Count Notes
Signal Monitoring Analyst / Technician 18 [#3] 3 monitoring centers × ~6 FTE per center for 24/7 coverage (total ~18 analysts).
Mobile Task Force Operator (MTF-Epsilon-734) 12 [#7] MTF team of ~12 operators for field capture, readiness and rapid-response.
Security Officer / Guard (quarantine ward) 8 [#21] Quarantine ward security staffing (~6–12 FTE; midpoint 8 FTE) for 24/7 coverage.
📋 Confidence Notes
Costs are based on analyst ranges and midpoints; many line items have wide ranges (e.g., software development, research program, scale-up ops) and operational scale depends strongly on infection prevalence, so uncertainty is moderate.
