Expected annual
$47.3M
One-time setup
$6.4M
Annual recurring
$46.7M
Personnel
67
Initial one-time capital outlays are approximately $6.42M driven by locker retrofits, lab buildouts, and R&D; annual recurring baseline operations (monitoring, staffed MTF/research teams, legal/PR, reserves) are large at ~$46.68M/yr, dominated by staffing and contingency reserve funds.

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $46.7M/yr
86.0% probability / year
Normal year with ongoing monitoring, staffed teams, and reserves maintained; no major public viral events or large-scale exposures.
routine monitoring localized recoveries no major viral spread
🚨 Minor Incident $47.7M/yr
12.0% probability / year +$980K vs baseline
Localized viral spike or small-scale public exposure requiring increased takedown operations, additional field retrievals, and legal/PR surge.
viral video / small festival spread regional media attention
🚨 Major Breach $71.7M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$25.0M vs baseline
Mass-exposure event or widely viral live-performance that requires large-scale public-safety interventions, mass medical response, and deployment of contingency reserves.
mass live-performance or coordinated release rapid global viral spread

📋 Confidence Notes
Midpoint estimates were used for ranges; some major drivers (mass-exposure reserves, choice to contract neuroimaging rather than purchase, staffing mixes) are judgment calls. Line items are well-documented in analyst notes but incident frequency and scale are uncertain, producing medium confidence.
