Initial capital costs are moderate (approx. $2.55M) driven by contingency funds and lab/containment setup; recurring annual costs are ~ $1.63M dominated by staff wages and ongoing R&D/monitoring. Major mutation or breach scenarios can add multi-million-dollar one-time expenses.

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $1.6M/yr
94.8% probability / year
Normal operational year with no major incidents; routine containment, surveillance, and scheduled R&D.
routine_surveillance no_unexpected_outbreaks
🚨 Minor Incident $1.8M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$150K vs baseline
Localized outbreak or injurious strain event requiring outbreak response, increased testing, temporary surge staffing, antivirals and limited public-cover operations.
localized_outbreak increased_testing_and_quarantine
🚨 Major Breach $4.6M/yr
0.2% probability / year +$3.0M vs baseline
Significant mutation or containment failure requiring major infrastructure upgrades (BSL-3/4), mass quarantine operations, and large-scale public-health responses.

Role Count Notes
Infectious Disease Physician / Medical Officer 1 [#10] FTE-level ID physician for clinical oversight and case management included in staff wages.
Nurse 4 [#10] Nursing staff to provide rotation coverage for quarantine and monitoring; staffing level supports continuous care shifts.
Security Officer / MTF Agent 7 [#11] Rotational security personnel for 24/7 guarded storage/quarantine and access control; headcount based on 6–8 guards suggested in notes.
📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are order-of-magnitude with wide ranges driven by throughput, mutation risk, and regulatory/site-specific costs; many items are contingency-sensitive (BSL upgrades, major outbreaks), so fiscal uncertainty is high.
