One-time startup estimated at approximately $8,440,000 driven primarily by perimeter fencing, base camp/towers, vehicles, sensor/drone acquisition, and a decommission reserve. Recurring annual costs are roughly $9,503,500/yr, dominated by security personnel wages, contingency/reserves, specialized response/operations, and ongoing logistics/maintenance.

Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $9.5M/yr
78.0% probability / year
Normal uneventful year with regular operations, scheduled maintenance, and no major incidents or exposures.
routine maintenance scheduled resupply regular research activity
🚨 Minor Incident $9.8M/yr
15.0% probability / year +$300K vs baseline
Localized damage or loss (e.g., sandstorm damages section of fence, vehicle lost to sand, small medical evacuation) that requires emergency repairs and overtime.
severe sandstorm vehicle attrition small containment-related medical evacuation
🚨 Major Breach $12.0M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$2.5M vs baseline
Significant containment breach or escalation requiring large-scale response, asset replacement, intensified ISR, and potential temporary relocation.
containment breach extensive equipment loss large-scale emergency response
🚨 Political Exposure $10.7M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$1.2M vs baseline
Local political instability or exposure forces increased cover payments, legal action, and possible expedited relocation or heightened security posture.
local governmental change leak or civilian incident escalation in regional conflict

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line-item ranges and likely midpoints, but many estimates are order-of-magnitude and location/geopolitical risk (Libya), radiological uncertainty, and potential escalation introduce variance. Vendor quotes and site surveys would raise confidence.
