Annual recurring
$3.5M
Personnel

Estimated one-time setup for a full containment/research program is approximately $10.5M driven largely by on-site MRI/CT purchases, laboratory/equipment procurement, and contingency reserves; annual recurring costs are ~ $3.46M driven by security and medical staffing plus ongoing R&D and monitoring.
🏗️ One-Time Capital Costs Total: $10.5M
Equipment $4.7M
[#3, #13, #14, #15, #18, #19] On-site imaging purchase (MRI + CT), autoclave purchase, biobank freezer installation, neurophysiology monitoring equipment, secure transport vehicle purchase, and initial data-security/hardware procurement.
Containment Contingency Fund $1.2M
[#20] Liquid reserve to mobilize emergency response teams, emergency surgeries, breach mitigation and international contingencies.
Facilities $1.2M
[#1, #2, #25] Cell refits for 5 humanoid cells, upgrade/reserve OR renovations to experimental-surgery standards, and wastewater/plumbing upgrade to handle heavy organic/sterile disposal (installation and testing).
Long Term Care Reserve $1.0M
[#23] Program-level reserve for extended ICU stays, rehabilitation and prosthetic organ development if surgical interventions succeed.
Decontamination Containment Upgrade Reserve $1.0M
[#27] Contingency reserve to retrofit facility for higher biosafety/memetic containment if unexpected properties are discovered.
Initial Research And Lab Setup $600K
[#6] Research lab buildout, initial surgical R&D setup, simulation/3D-printing/prototype fixtures and certification for a multi-year surgical program (project setup costs).
Covert Retrieval Operation $500K

Legal And Regulatory Initial $175K
[#8] Initial retainers and legal/regulatory/ethics setup for international counsel, cover-story documentation, and filings.
Public Cover Initial $75K
[#24] Initial local payments, PR/rumor management set-up and payments to local hospitals/officials to establish cover narratives.
🔄 Annual Recurring Costs Total: $3.5M/yr

Research And Monitoring $1.2M/yr
[#6, #7, #11, #17, #21, #22] Ongoing research team salaries for surgical procedure development, surgical-research consumables/prototypes, per-host medical monitoring, behavioral/social-integration program costs, training & drills, and outsourced forensic histology/specialty assays.

[#10, #18] International liaison/translation and cultural consultancy travel plus medevac retainer / emergency transport readiness.
Administration Overhead $120K/yr
[#26] Misc. administration, procurement, contracting, badge/security clearance administration and general overhead.
Supplies And Consumables $75K/yr
[#12, #13, #16] Pharmaceuticals and on-site pharmacy stock, PPE and sterile supplies / sharps disposal contractor fees, and specialized personal care/wound supplies for skin-replaced host.
Cover Story And Legal $75K/yr
[#8, #24] Ongoing legal retainers and maintenance of cover-story/records management and small recurring local payments for rumor management.
Facilities Maintenance $47K/yr

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $3.5M/yr
94.0% probability / year
Normal year with steady containment, active R&D, no major incidents.
routine monitoring scheduled R&D activity no breaches or major legal incidents
🚨 Minor Incident $3.6M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$150K vs baseline
Localized medical emergency or containment incident requiring limited emergency surgery, overtime staffing, and short-term legal/cover expenses.
emergency surgery for a host minor containment breach requiring response temporary increase in legal/cover payments
🚨 Major Breach $5.0M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$1.5M vs baseline
Major containment breach, high-cost emergency surgeries, international extraction or public exposure requiring large contingency spend.
multi-host medical emergencies public exposure / political fallout expensive international operations or facility retrofit
👥 Personnel 19 total
Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 16 [#4] 24/7 guard coverage for 5 cells using ~3.0–3.5 FTE per cell; conservative staffing = ~16 FTEs.
Medical Officer / Physician 1 [#5] One full-time general physician/medical officer assigned to containment wing.
Clinical Nurse Specialist 1 [#5] One infectious-disease/clinical nurse specialist per ~6 cells; 5 cells -> 1 FTE.
Neurophysiology Technician 1 [#15] Technician for EEG/intraoperative neurophys monitoring (Valeri).
📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line-item ranges enabling order-of-magnitude estimates, but high uncertainty remains around PoI retrieval costs, whether imaging/OR must be purchased on-site, and contingency costs for unforeseen anomalous properties; therefore confidence is medium.
