One-time setup is dominated by procurement and installation of Miller-Harwell arrays and R&D/lab buildout (~$34.6M). Recurring costs are driven by media remediation, research & monitoring, capture teams, legal/PR and amnestic programs (~$22.39M/year).

Cost Scenarios
📊
Baseline
(baseline)
$22.4M/yr
Normal year with ongoing containment, monitoring, routine treatments, and media remediation at the assumed program scale.
no major new outbreaks
only routine detections and treatments
🚨
Minor Incident
$24.9M/yr
Localized outbreak requiring regional surge: extra capture deployments, increased amnestic distribution, targeted media remediation and legal actions.
regional cluster of active transmitters
concert/venue exposure
🚨
Metropolitan Mass Event
$97.4M/yr
Large metropolitan exposure requiring mass-intervention: city-scale amnestic clinics, blackout/coverage operations, extensive archival and broadcast sanitation, and emergency capture.

Confidence Notes
Wide input ranges, unknown national scale of exposures, and many costs scale nonlinearly with chosen mitigation aggressiveness; estimates use mid-range assumptions (50 sites, 5 regions, 10 portable kits, 1,000 baseline treatments/year).
