One-time setup and capital (including purpose-built Anomaly Womb cell, BSL-3 fit-out, equipment, and reserves) are the primary upfront costs (~$9.18M). Recurring annual costs (~$2.65M/year) are dominated by staff wages (medical, research, security), on-call clinical retainer, maintenance, and contingency/reserve budgeting.

Cost Scenarios
📊
Baseline
(baseline)
$2.6M/yr
Normal operational year with no major incidents; routine monitoring, maintenance, and planned research activities only.
no major health crises
no breaches or anomaly births
routine maintenance and scheduled tests
🚨
Minor Incident
$2.9M/yr
Medical emergency or limited containment incident requiring urgent interventions, additional imaging/surgery, short-term surge staffing, and legal/administrative response.
acute host deterioration
emergency surgical intervention
localized contamination or small breach
🚨
Anomaly Birth
$7.9M/yr
G-class 'Anomaly Birth' or major containment event that triggers large multi-team response, heavy equipment deployment, regional quarantine, and extensive legal/PR costs.
host death with anomalous birth event
major uncontrolled growth or active breach
multi-agency emergency response

Confidence Notes
Numerous line items are explicitly estimated in analyst notes (staffing, equipment, lab fit-out) providing moderate confidence in magnitude. Uncertainty remains regarding frequency and scale of anomalous events (growth spurts, 'Anomaly Birth') which could dramatically increase costs, hence medium confidence.
