Initial one-time setup is approximately $12.55M driven by containment buildout, specialized MTF equipment/vehicles, emergency reserve and software/hardware for large-scale image/video takedown. Ongoing annual operations are approximately $10.48M/yr driven by MTF and cyber/legal staffing, cloud GPU costs, medical/hospital contracts, and quarantine operations.
