$239.2M
Annual recurring
$135.8M
Personnel
35
One-time setup and IP acquisition costs dominate (developing the targeted antiviral, purchasing patents, and establishing manufacturing/cryostorage), while large recurring costs are driven by legal/cover operations, reserves for emergency response and containment failure, and ongoing subsidies/stockpile replenishment.

📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are based directly on analyst-provided ranges; many items (IP acquisition, reserves, covert ops) have very wide ranges and depend on scale and jurisdiction, so midpoint selections and conservative reserve choices introduce moderate uncertainty.
