Initial capital upgrades (containment rooms, BSL-3 lab, backup power) drive one-time costs (~$7.8M). Recurring annual operations (medical staff, security, research, maintenance, and logistics) are estimated at ~$3.4M/yr, with outbreak scenarios requiring multi-million-dollar contingency activations.
🏗️ One-Time Capital Costs Total: $7.8M
Facilities $5.8M
[#1, #14, #16, #24, #25, #29, #18, #26] Site-level physical work: conversion of patient rooms (assumes 3 rooms for baseline), rodent-proofing, perimeter sensors/access hardware, morgue upgrades, initial archival hardware, communications deployment, sample-transport vehicle/logistics setup, and a recommended contingency reserve included in site capital.
Initial Research And Lab Setup $1.5M
[#7, #20] BSL-3 suite upgrades and laboratory buildout including cryo/-80°C storage and vivarium buildout for controlled animal research.
Equipment $354K
[#3, #4, #5, #6, #8, #18] Capital hardware: automated feeding pumps, assistive communicators (redundant devices), non-visual room sensor suites, UPS/backup generator equipment, on-site autoclave, and initial sample-collection kit stock.
Legal Pr Retainer $100K
[#22] Initial legal/PR retainer to manage public health liaison, cover-story preparation, and immediate compliance work.
Training Development $35K
[#12] Development of specialized clinical/simulation training (eye-closing procedure, non-disclosure protocols).
Initial Ppe Stock $12K
[#9] Initial stockpile of specialized PPE and consumables (disposable layers, impermeable covers) to establish safe baseline inventory.
🔄 Annual Recurring Costs Total: $3.4M/yr
Staff Wages $1.3M/yr
[#10, #11, #16, #17] Ongoing personnel salaries: per-patient clinical staffing (nursing + physician oversight allocated across baseline patients), on-site infectious disease specialists, dedicated security guard shifts for the ward, and remote surveillance analysts.
Research And Monitoring $886K/yr
[#7, #20, #21, #17, #30, #12] Recurring research program and monitoring: BSL-3 lab and freezer maintenance, vivarium operations, sequencing/research program costs and contract research, software/subscriptions for remote-analysis tools, periodic external audits, and refresher training program costs.
Logistics And Transport $400K/yr
[#18, #19, #28] Field logistics: secure cold-chain sample transport and kit deployments, annual MTF Beta-7 operational budget for hospital sweeps and rapid responses, and ongoing corvid surveillance/control in affected regions.
Cover Story And Legal $400K/yr
[#22, #27] Ongoing legal/compliance and public-health liaison expenses, per-outbreak contingencies, and insurance/replacement capital planning.
Facilities Maintenance $134K/yr
[#2, #5, #6, #8, #14, #25, #29, #24] Recurring maintenance and utilities: HVAC/isolation energy and maintenance, non-visual sensor upkeep and archiving costs, backup power fuel/maintenance, autoclave servicing and waste handling, pest-control monitoring, IT/storage upkeep, communications maintenance, and morgue handling overhead.

Supplies And Consumables $120K/yr
[#3, #9, #13, #18, #23, #24] Consumables: enteral/parenteral feeding disposables, ongoing PPE rotation per patient, immunoglobulin/vaccine stock replacements, sample-collection kit replenishment, long-term patient care supplies (medication, wound care, linens), and per-autopsy consumables.
Refresher Training $12K/yr
[#12] Annual refresher training and compliance audits for specialized procedures (eye-closing checks, no-disclosure protocols).
Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $3.4M/yr
93.0% probability / year
Normal year with containment holding to a small number of patients (baseline ward of ~3 patients); routine operations and scheduled research continue.
single-hospital_cases no widespread corvid spread steady-state research activity
🚨 Minor Incident $3.6M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$200K vs baseline
Localized incident requiring short-term containment surge and incident response (targeted MTF deployment, overtime, incident investigation and remediation).
single_patient_breach unexpected_transmission_in_hospital
🚨 Major Outbreak $8.4M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$5.0M vs baseline
Widespread outbreak among humans and/or corvid carriers requiring rapid scale-up: expanded wards, mass field operations, large research ramp-up, and major public-health interventions.

Role Count Notes
Nurse / Medical Staff 3 [#10] Nursing FTEs to perform 8-hourly checks and routine bedside care; physician oversight accounted separately.
Physician / Medical Oversight 1 [#10] Shared physician oversight for clinical decision-making, wound care and pain management.
Infectious Disease Specialist / Research Clinician 2 [#11] On-site specialists for monitoring progression, coordinating research and advising treatment protocols.
Security Officer / MTF Agent 6 [#16] Covers 24/7 guard shifts for the secure ward and access control; MTF Beta-7 deployments are budgeted separately.
Remote Surveillance Analyst 4 [#17] Analysts who review non-visual sensor logs (audio/motion) and provide situational awareness.
Administrative / Site Coordinator 0 [] Administrative functions are accounted for within other roles or via temporary contract; no dedicated additional FTE budgeted in staff_wages.
📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates draw directly from analyst ranges but require assumptions (baseline of 3 contained patients, mid-point choices for many wide ranges). Anomalous transmission vectors and outbreak scale are uncertain, so numeric estimates are medium-confidence and should be updated as case counts and lab data clarify spread.
