One-time setup costs are moderate (~$757k) for site retrofit, security hardware and initial research kit; recurring annual costs are substantial (~$2.06M/yr) driven by 24/7 monitoring/security staffing, ongoing research/expendables, international operations, and legal/cover operations.

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $2.1M/yr
89.0% probability / year
Normal operational year with steady containment, routine tests, no major incidents or missions.

🚨 Minor Incident $2.2M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$130K vs baseline
Localized incident: equipment loss, small containment response, limited PR/legal action, short-term medical care.

🚨 Major Breach $3.6M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$1.5M vs baseline
Significant breach or high-profile incident requiring international retrievals, large settlements, heavy engineering or drilling and major PR/legal response.
