$55.2M
Annual recurring
$7.4M
Personnel
21
Initial one-time setup (facility build, sensor/networks, vehicles, and a memetics-safe lab) is dominated by a large contingency reserve; ongoing annual costs are driven by multi-shift security staffing, specialized research, and frequent consumable replacement and wildfire/containment readiness.

Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 16 [#12] Multi-shift perimeter/field guards, rapid-response teams, drone operators and medics included in this complement (12–20 FTEs minimum; midpoint used).
Research Scientist 5 [#13, #10] Memeticists, cognitive scientists, containment researchers and pathologists for memetic-safe testing and analysis (3–6 staff; midpoint rounded).
📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line items and ranges, enabling midpoint estimates; uncertainty remains around incident frequency, per-incident severity, and the appropriate contingency reserve size, so figures are best-estimate midpoints rather than high-confidence firm quotes.
