One-time capital costs are moderate (~$400k) driven by containment retrofit, HVAC, and transport/backup-power setup; recurring annual costs are dominated by staff wages, ongoing R&D, and administrative overhead (~$1.55M/yr). Specialized VUV research campaigns and incident contingency reserves are the largest variable recurring drivers.

Confidence Notes
Many line items are well-specified (containment retrofit, staffing, UV schedules), enabling reasonable midpoints; however significant uncertainty exists around VUV strategy (outsourcing vs purchase), incident frequency/severity, and jurisdictional compliance costs, so overall confidence is medium.
