Initial capital expenditures are dominated by specialized containment, medical and surge-capacity buildouts (~$12M in core facilities plus large contingency reserves). Recurring costs (~$11.3M/yr baseline) are driven by medical staffing, containment operations, field teams and legal/PR takedown efforts.

Role Count Notes
OSINT Analyst / Content Moderator 4 [#2] 4 analysts as specified (triage crawler hits, verify leads).
Field Operative (Undercover) 9 [#5] 8 operatives + handler/support as noted in field team budget.
Surgeon / OR Team (surgeons, nurses, anesthesiologists) 14 [#10] 4 surgeons + 8 nurses + 2 anesthesiologists for dedicated emergency surgical staffing.
Research Scientist 3 [#13] 3 researchers staffed for pathology/molecular analysis.
Lab Technician 2 [#13] Supporting lab technician headcount (part of lab staffing estimate).
Amnesticist / Neurologist 3 [#12] 2–3 amnesticists budgeted; counted as 3 for rostering and coverage.
Psychologist / Counselor 2 [#20] 2 psychologists/counselors budgeted for detainee and staff care.
📋 Confidence Notes
Many line items were provided with explicit estimates (salary lines, hardware, lab outfitting), so core recurring and capital costs are reasonably well-bounded. Uncertainty remains in per-incident frequency, severity of Superbia Events, and the upper bound of surge responses (wide $20M–$100M range), hence medium confidence.
