One-time capital to build a hardened containment bay and purchase/retrofit vehicles/equipment is roughly $210M; ongoing annual operations, rapid-response Nu-7 readiness, ISR, aviation, R&D and covert operations drive recurring costs of ~ $80.6M/year. Major breach or geopolitical incidents can add hundreds of millions in a crisis year.

Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent (Nu-7 operative) 24 [#1] Two Nu-7 units, 12 operatives per unit.
Support (intel / comms / medic / logistics) 6 [#1] Support staff for Nu-7 units (intelligence, communications, medics, logistics).
📋 Confidence Notes
Wide ranges in analyst estimates, uncertain incident frequency, and substantial scenario variance (especially geopolitical escalation) produce low overall confidence in precise dollar figures.
