Initial capital/setup costs (barriers, fencing, sensors, vehicles, research rigging) are roughly $2.37M including optional BSL-3; baseline annual operating costs are approximately $2.80M per year. Main recurring drivers are continuous security staffing, research personnel, legal/contingency reserves, and specialized medical/forensic contracts.

Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line-item estimates, but many entries are ranges and several large optional items (helicopter retainer, on-site BSL-3) significantly change totals. Probabilities for incidents are expert judgment given Euclid-class stability; uncertainty around incident frequency and per-incident forensic/legal costs reduces confidence to medium.
