Estimated startup/upgrade one-time costs are approximately $6.0M driven by containment cell construction, facility repairs, HVAC/vent sealing, research lab fit-out and contingency reserves. Annual recurring operations are ~ $4.17M/yr driven by staff wages, ongoing research/forensics, animal care/feed, and recurring maintenance/containment contracts.

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $4.2M/yr
86.5% probability / year
Normal year with routine operations, no major containment incidents.
no breaches routine maintenance scheduled research activity
🚨 Minor Incident $4.3M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$150K vs baseline
Localized specimen escape or limited breach requiring limited response and repairs.
single-cell breach emergency sedation and medical treatment localized repairs and overtime
🚨 Major Breach $5.2M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$1.0M vs baseline
Significant containment failure requiring rapid-response deployment, broad incineration/disposal and substantial repairs and amnestic operations.
multi-cell escape extensive facility damage public exposure requiring amnestics/legal settlements
🚨 Catastrophic Breach $9.2M/yr
0.5% probability / year +$5.0M vs baseline
Full compromise requiring demolition/eradication, long-term remediation, and major cover operations.
facility-wide loss of containment environmental contamination need for controlled demolition and large-scale remediation
🚨 Political Exposure $4.7M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$500K vs baseline

📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are compiled from analyst ranges and cover the obvious cost drivers, but specimen counts/mass, research scale, and incident frequency are uncertain. Many items are order-of-magnitude ranges which produce material variance in totals.
