Total one-time setup and neutralization costs are roughly $249,000 driven primarily by cell build-out, HVAC/plumbing upgrades, distilled-water equipment, and initial diagnostics; ongoing annual costs are about $702,000 driven mainly by 24/7 security, on-site medical staff, and research/monitoring. Contingency and administrative overhead are significant recurring line items that raise the baseline operating cost.

Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 6 [#2] Rotating security shifts to ensure at least two trained guards on-site at all times; analyst used 6 guards in cost estimate.
Medical Officer 1 [#3] One full-time medic/nurse for daily medication administration and medical response.
Research Scientist 1 [#4] Research/monitoring personnel (1 FTE equivalent for diagnostics, monitoring, and limited experiments).
📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are based on explicit line-item analyst notes (wage multipliers, equipment prices, and contingency), but several entries use midpoints and order-of-magnitude ranges; medical treatment costs in particular could vary widely, so confidence is medium.
