Estimated first-year setup (one-time) costs are approximately $326,500, with primary drivers being contingency reserves, backup/freezer capacity, and laboratory setup; ongoing annual costs are approximately $201,400 driven by staffing, research/testing, cold-chain energy and disposal. Main cost risks are biohazard incident response and large-scale containment/cleanup events.

Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line items and ranges enabling a reasoned estimate, but uncertainty remains around incident probabilities, frequency of harvests and freezer/rental choices, so confidence is medium.
