One-time capital costs (~$63.8M) are dominated by SRA procurement, city-scale camera ingestion and compute infrastructure, and a contingency reserve; recurring annual costs (~$21.45M/yr) are driven by staff wages, continuous AI/monitoring and compute, MTF readiness, and per-event response costs.

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide broad ranges and detailed line items but many costs (SRA unit price, event frequency, containment requirements) are highly uncertain; mid-range estimates used produce medium confidence.
