$664K
Personnel
2
Large historical personnel and operational expenditures (multi‑million USD) during 1961–1993 dominate one‑time costs; current yearly costs are modest but nontrivial, driven by digital monitoring, on‑call rapid response, and occasional amnestic administration (~$664k/yr baseline).

📋 Confidence Notes
Many historical expenditures are well-documented in analyst notes (personnel and long-term operations), but current recurring needs depend on posture (minimal monitoring vs aggressive suppression). Several recurring items (amnestic usage rates, probability of resurfacing) are uncertain and estimated using midpoints.
