One-time capital and contingency reserves dominate expense (construction, large mitigation/reserve funds and optional remote facility). Recurring annual costs (~$7.9M/yr baseline) are driven by specialized staff, perimeter patrols/animal-control contracts, legal/insurance, and ongoing exclusion-zone maintenance.

Remote Isolation Facility Construction $55.0M
[#19] Optional construction/outfitting of a remote isolation facility (desert island/Antarctic or purpose-built remote site). Note: ongoing annual ops for such a site are scenario-dependent and therefore handled in cost scenarios.
Incident Reserve Fund $27.5M
[#16] Contingency reserve fund for large lawsuits, victim compensation and major incident liabilities.
Facilities $9.4M
[#1, #5, #6] Construction/retrofit of Level-2 humanoid cell, initial habitat modification/clearing for 2 km exclusion zone, and perimeter fencing/physical barriers (includes access roads/gates).
Eia And Mitigation $6.0M
[#11] Environmental impact assessment and permitting (initial) plus estimated mitigation/offset payments required by regulators.
Cover Story Contingency Reserve $5.5M
[#15] One-time contingency/buyout budget for compensating affected locals, buyouts or large cover story operations as required.
Countermeasures Development $2.8M

Role Count Notes
Medical Officer / Psychiatrist 1 [#3] 0.5–1 FTE medical/mental-health staff to manage prescriptions, monitoring and therapy.
Security Officer / MTF Agent (Level-2+ containment staff) 3 [#4] 2–4 assigned Level-2-trained containment staff (rotating) responsible for escorts and in-cell handling.

📋 Confidence Notes
Wide ecological, legal and jurisdictional uncertainties (protected species, permitting, migration patterns) produce wide ranges. Many large line items (mitigation, reserve funds, remote-site choice) depend on site-specific factors and policy decisions, reducing confidence.
