Annual recurring
$8.0M
Personnel

One-time startup capital is approximately $10.5M driven primarily by research lab outfitting, site acquisition and contingency funds; recurring annual operations are approximately $8.0M/yr driven by staff wages (security and research), ongoing research, and MTF/logistics costs.
🏗️ One-Time Capital Costs Total: $10.5M
Initial Research And Lab Setup $6.2M
[#13, #25] Specialized laboratory outfitting, high-end instrumentation (atomic clocks, time-resolved sensors), compute cluster and initial modelling/simulation setup.
Facilities $2.1M
[#1, #2, #6, #30] Site acquisition/land control, perimeter structural works, modular operations building, and long-term decommissioning/remediation estimates.
Equipment $1.1M
[#3, #4, #5, #7, #11, #12, #18, #24] Access control/geofencing, video/thermal camera hardware, backup power/UPS, refrigerated morgue equipment, vehicle purchases, drones/robot hardware, evidence cold-storage hardware, and initial secure communications kit.
Emergency Contingency Fund $625K
[#23] Liquid contingency fund reserved for rapid response to breaches or mass-casualty events.
Cover Story Rollout $300K
[#19] Initial PR/cover-story rollout, legal setup and fake developer documentation to establish the housing-development cover.
Amnestic Stockpile $125K
[#16] One-time purchase of Class-A/B amnestic inventory to seed on-site stockpile.
🔄 Annual Recurring Costs Total: $8.0M/yr
Staff Wages $4.1M/yr
[#9, #10, #14] Security staffing (guards + supervisors), medical staff (on-site medics/trauma arrangements), and research/personnel salaries for permanent analytical team.
Research And Monitoring $2.1M/yr
[#8, #13, #25, #29] Forensic/autopsy budget, ongoing research program operational costs (experiments/consumables), modelling HPC time/software licenses; controlled-testing is budgeted per-test (see notes) and not assumed as baseline annual spend.
Logistics And Transport $1.1M/yr
[#11, #12, #15, #22] Vehicle operating costs (patrol SUVs, transport vans, armored vehicle maintenance), drone maintenance/insurance, MTF rotation/readiness/travel costs, and civilian escort/relocation logistics.
Insurance And Risk Management $175K/yr
[#27] Internal accounting buffer/reserved budget for contractor liabilities, equipment replacement and incident-related losses.
Supplies And Consumables $112K/yr
[#4, #18, #21, #26] Video storage/licenses and backup, off-site evidence cold-storage fees, training costs for body-handling and PPE consumables, and site utilities/groundskeeping.
Cover Story And Legal $88K/yr
[#19] Ongoing PR/FOIA/legal maintenance to preserve the housing-development cover story and respond to occasional inquiries.
Communications Monitoring $88K/yr
[#24] Ongoing monitoring/suppression/replacement of local digital footprints and limited takedown operations; secure comms operations.
Local Relationships $85K/yr
[#20] Discretionary/local contractor payments, expedited permit fees and small local engagements to smooth operations.
Facilities Maintenance $60K/yr

[#17] Next-of-kin monitoring, counseling and legal cover operations following disappearances.
Amnestic Administrations $30K/yr
[#16] Expected annual usage of amnestics (Class-A/Class-B administrations) and related administration/aftercare costs; stockpile is one-time above.
Psychological Care $28K/yr
[#28] Counseling, reintegration and amnestic follow-up for survivors and exposed staff; varies with event frequency.
Controlled Testing Per Test $0/yr
[#29] Per-test contingency: each controlled test would cost approximately $50k–$250k; no baseline annual tests budgeted here.
Biohazard Disposal Per Incident $0/yr
[#7] Per-incident biohazard disposal/disposition costs estimated $1k–$10k; baseline annual usage not assumed here.
Ppe Consumables Per Incident $0/yr
[#21] Per-incident PPE/consumable costs estimated $1k–$5k; baseline annual usage not assumed here.
⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $8.0M/yr
83.0% probability / year
Normal year with routine ops, monitoring, occasional maintenance and low incident frequency.
no major incidents routine upkeep and scheduled research
🚨 Minor Incident $8.1M/yr
15.0% probability / year +$75K vs baseline
Single disappearance/incident requiring autopsy, body disposal, limited MTF response, family follow-up and PR response.
single disappearance localized media attention one autopsy and limited MTF callout
🚨 Mass Casualty $10.0M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$2.0M vs baseline
Multiple simultaneous disappearances or media-exposed event requiring emergency contingency deployment, major MTF mobilization, widespread amnestic use and heavy PR/legal response.
multiple simultaneous disappearances public/media exposure major containment emergency

📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are low-confidence due to wide ranges in analyst notes, site/location dependence (land cost), unknown incident frequency and potential overlap between research and personnel budgets; many per-incident costs are frequency-dependent and have been conservatively parameterized.
