[#8, #9, #16] Initial multi‑year specialized R&D program startup (drug discovery / memetic countermeasures), on‑site MRI purchase/installation (research imaging capacity), and autopsy/cryo specimen facility setup. Large uncertainty concentrated here due to program scope variability.

[#21] Initial legal risk & exposure reserve (one‑time fund set aside for litigation, settlements, whistleblower payouts). Midpoint of analyst range used as an initial capitalized reserve.

[#1, #25] Secure water‑controlled containment wing retrofit/construction (6–12 cells) and potential site acquisition costs for expansion planning (per‑site acquisition range included). Assumes midpoint of construction estimates plus a single-site acquisition reserve.

[#2, #3, #4, #11, #23] Integrated monitoring hardware (CCTV/EEG servers/sensors), backup UPS/generator systems, emergency anti‑submersion equipment, one‑time MTF field kit, and initial PPE/equipment purchases. Estimates use midpoints of provided ranges.

[#8, #9, #10, #16] Ongoing R&D operations (continuing multi‑disciplinary program), annual imaging throughput/maintenance (MRI), continuous EEG/sleep lab operations and staffing, and autopsy/sample analysis/storage budgets. R&D ongoing operations uses midpoint of analyst recurring range; imaging and EEG budgets added.

[#12] Covert operations, diplomatic/legal cover, bribery/falsified records, and legal liaison budget for concealment operations; midpoint of analyst recurring range used.

[#11] Annual field retrieval and MTF deployment operations budget (per‑deployment costs and charters aggregated to an annual ops budget midpoint). One‑time MTF kit costs are in equipment.

[#24] Annual contingency fund reserved for immediate response to breaches, mass‑activation events, or unexpected clusters outside jurisdiction.

[#5, #6] Annual salaries for core clinical staff (2 thaumotologists, 2 neurologists, 4 psychologists, 4 EEG/MRI techs) and security (≈10 guards + 3 senior containment officers). Figures use midpoints from analyst salary guidance.

[#4, #7, #13, #14, #23] Recurring consumables including dream‑suppressant pharmaceuticals, amnestic/memetic production and administration, custodial food/medical supplies for detainees, PPE consumables, and recurring consumables/training items for emergency prevention systems. Midpoint estimates aggregated for a ~50‑patient program.

[#19] Active online monitoring, takedown operations, and infiltration of thaumaturgical communities to identify cases pre‑disclosure (midpoint of analyst range).

[#25] Annual budget for scouting new containment sites, recruitment, and secure detention expansion planning; acquisition costs covered as one‑time in facilities when executed.

[#21] Annual replenishment contribution to legal risk & exposure reserve (ongoing contingency funding).

[#15] Reserve for acute ICU care and emergency interventions (anticipated incidents per year). Midpoint of reserve guidance used.

[#20] Ongoing misinformation/information operations, staged explanations, fake research publications and media management; midpoint used.

[#18] Secure data storage, air‑gapped backups, encryption, and 1–2 data analysts for EEG/MRI/dataset management.

[#22] Regular training, simulation rooms, and red‑team exercises for containment, non‑escalatory interdiction, and specialized de‑escalation techniques.

[#17] Mental‑health, decontamination, prophylaxis and rotation/respite programs for staff exposed to thaumaturgical/dissociative phenomena.

[#2, #3] Annual maintenance for integrated monitoring hardware and backup power/fuel/maintenance estimates (monitoring hardware maintenance + generator fuel/maintenance).
