Initial capital costs are dominated by specialized containment bays, a significant contingency/reserve, and initial R&D; ongoing annual costs are driven by salaries, digital monitoring/takedown, and legal/cover operations. Estimated one-time setup is roughly $32.5M with ~ $11.28M/yr recurring baseline operations.

Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $11.3M/yr
94.0% probability / year
Normal, uneventful year with containment operating and routine monitoring/takedown activity; no major public incidents.

🚨 Minor Incident $11.8M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$500K vs baseline
Single localized public transformation or small cluster requiring tactical response, capture, medical care, and targeted takedown/legal actions.

🚨 Major Breach $23.3M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$12.0M vs baseline
Mass-exposure or multiple simultaneous incidents (festival, viral spread) triggering emergency mobilization, large-scale legal/takedown expenditures and drawdown of contingency reserves.

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line items and ranges, allowing reasonable midpoint estimates, but substantial uncertainty remains around frequency of memetic spread, required reserve sizing, and scale of takedown/legal actions; cost ranges in source are wide.
