First-year capital costs are approximately $7.47M driven by containment construction, specialized lab/apparatus procurement, and site/equipment fit-out; ongoing annual costs are roughly $10.87M per year dominated by personnel wages, MTF readiness, and a large wildfire/remediation reserve.

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $10.9M/yr
82.0% probability / year
Normal year with no major containment breach; ongoing staffing, maintenance, research, and reserves funded as budgeted.
no breach routine field ops ongoing research
🚨 Minor Incident $11.6M/yr
15.0% probability / year +$750K vs baseline
Localized recovery or medical incident requiring one major field recovery, medical treatment, forensic disposal, and replacement/testing costs.

📋 Confidence Notes
Line items are detailed and mapped to plausible real-world analogs, but the anomalous behavior, wildfire risk magnitude, and frequency of major incidents are inherently uncertain; contingency/reserve sizing and probabilities are best estimates.
