Initial one-time capital and contingency costs are approximately $2.68M, with recurring annual costs of roughly $2.70M driven primarily by personnel, ongoing R&D/monitoring, and contractual payments to GoI-466. Major risk drivers that could increase costs are widespread conceptual attachments (appliance replacements, mass remediation) and failure/loss of the Object Apol/consultant.

Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 5 [#6] 4–6 guards on rotating shifts to provide physical security and access control.
Research Technician / Containment Technician 3 [#6] 2–3 technicians for feeding, maintenance, and daily specimen care.
Containment Supervisor 1 [#6] Supervisory staff to coordinate shifts, audits, and daily operations.
📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are based on detailed analyst line items with provided ranges, but uncertainty remains due to the anomalous conceptual behavior, low-frequency high-impact breach risk, and reliance on an on-site consultant whose departure would materially change costs.
