Initial capital outlay is dominated by an onsite MRI, remote-handling systems, and substantial contingency/termination reserves; annual recurring costs are driven by staff wages (medical, research, security), MRI maintenance/monitoring, and ongoing research/monitoring programs.

📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates use mid-range selections from analyst-provided ranges and assume purchase of an onsite MRI and moderate research funding. Uncertainty remains due to optional choices (onsite vs offsite MRI, scale of long-term research, and unpredictable breach probabilities), hence medium confidence.
