Estimated one-time setup costs are approximately $1,175,000 driven by containment construction, IT/hardened archival systems, and initial research/tooling. Expected recurring program costs are approximately $2,248,600/year driven primarily by ongoing research/monitoring, takedown/response operations, legal/cover-up reserves and contingency/quarantine funding.

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $2.2M/yr
82.0% probability / year
Normal year with routine monitoring, takedowns at expected rates, and no major leaks or large-scale research escalations.

🚨 Minor Incident $2.4M/yr
15.0% probability / year +$200K vs baseline
Several publications or mirrors appear requiring repeated field takedowns, additional legal/PR work, and overtime for MTF and analysts.

🚨 Major Breach $4.7M/yr
3.0% probability / year +$2.5M vs baseline
Widespread online circulation or multi-journal exposure triggers mass infections, large-scale quarantine, emergency clinical trials and substantial legal/settlement costs.

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide line-item ranges and clear enumerations of required capabilities, but many estimates (especially recurring operational and contingency costs) have wide ranges and depend on uncertain incident rates; therefore confidence is medium.
