First-year costs are dominated by a one-time containment/reserve capital and initial software/security hardening, with steady-state annual operations driven by specialized staff (veterinary and security), research, and contingency reserves. Baseline recurring costs are approximately $1.46M/yr; first-year including one-time items (excluding the optional $1M one-time reserve) is roughly $362k in one-time spend.

Role Count Notes
Veterinarian 1 [#7] One full-time veterinarian responsible for chemical dream-state management and surgical planning (salary included in vet staffing).
Veterinary Technician 2 [#7] Two veterinary technicians for routine care, IV management and monitoring (salaries included in vet staffing).
