One-time capital costs are approximately $600,000 driven by cell modification, HVAC/filtration, a sealed waste vault, and basic lab/setup. Annual recurring costs are roughly $860,000 driven mainly by security staffing, a dedicated researcher, medical screening/monitoring, hazardous waste disposal, and ongoing research/consultation.

Role Count Notes
Research Scientist 1 Level-1 psychological researcher with daily access (~$95,000/yr). Mapped to #8.
Level-0 Cleaning Personnel 1 Weekly decontamination/cleaning rotation; modeled as ~0.1–0.2 FTE (~$6,000/yr). Mapped to #9.
Security Officer / MTF Agent 5 On-site guards for continuous coverage; modeled here as 5 guards at ~$40k/yr each. Mapped to #10.
📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line-item ranges allowing mid-range budgeting, but several items (security posture, frequency of incidents, extent of external consultation) are site-dependent; thus medium confidence in the aggregated estimates.
