One-time capital costs are dominated by property acquisition and contingency-level remediation planning (total one-time ≈ $62.7M). Recurring annual costs are driven by on-site security and salaried technical staff, radiation monitoring/response, monthly field missions, and legal/cover operations (baseline ≈ $8.565M/yr).

📋 Confidence Notes
Notes provide detailed per-item estimates for most cost drivers (security, radiation, monthly field operations), allowing a reasonable mid-range estimate; large uncertainties remain around property acquisition choice (purchase vs lease), extreme remediation/BSL-4 construction, and incident frequency/severity, so confidence is medium.
