One-time startup capital of approximately $937,500 to outfit a single-site containment (cell, perimeter, vehicles, sensors, and IT). Recurring annual costs are approximately $3,506,750 driven primarily by continuous armed MTF staffing, research & monitoring salaries, and large contingency/reserve allocations.

📋 Confidence Notes
Costs for infrastructure, equipment, and staffing are reasonably well-defined from the notes; uncertainty remains in reappearance frequency, per-event response scale, and policy choices (e.g., frequency of controlled experiments), which affects incident-driven line items and reserves.
