Estimated one-time capital costs of approximately $44.27M with recurring annual operating costs of about $28.63M; largest drivers are on-site BSL-4 lab buildout, ongoing security payroll and a multi-million-dollar annual contingency/reserve plus sustained R&D programs.

Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $28.6M/yr
88.0% probability / year
Normal, uneventful year with routine operations, scheduled research and reserve contributions; no major containment incidents.
no breach regular research and maintenance scheduled reserve contributions
🚨 Minor Incident $30.6M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$2.0M vs baseline
Localized containment event or suit failure causing small outbreak or limited contamination requiring emergency response and localized remediation.
localized exposure small-scale outbreak suit/equipment failure
🚨 Major Breach $53.6M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$25.0M vs baseline
Significant containment failure with regional spread or international exposure (e.g., pneumonic smallpox escape) requiring large-scale vaccination, quarantine, remediation and international coordination.
pneumonic/sustained transmission loss of containment into civilian population international public-health response
👥 Personnel 100 total
Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 75 [#1] Continuous perimeter staffing to maintain 10 km radius (fixed posts, patrols, rapid-reaction team).
Research Scientist / Lab Staff 12 [#11] Microbiology, epidemiology, sequencing and support staff for on-site research and monitoring.
Medical Officer 3 [#10] On-site medics, quarantine ward staff, and emergency care providers.

📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates combine specific containment requirements from the SCP text (which improves confidence) with wide procurement and geopolitical uncertainties (cover operations, international legal risk, and contingency sizing), producing moderate confidence in order-of-magnitude figures.
