Initial setup and procurement (monitoring hardware, vehicles, stabilization devices, and contingency reserves) drive large one-time costs (~$14.47M). Ongoing staffing (MTF + research), monitoring, evacuation readiness and logistics are the main recurring costs (~$3.84M/yr).

Cost Scenarios
📊
Baseline
(baseline)
$3.8M/yr
Normal year with routine monitoring, staffing, maintenance, and preparedness contracts active but no major incidents or large evacuations.
routine_manifestations
scheduled maintenance
steady monitoring
🚨
Minor Incident
$4.1M/yr
A moderate manifestation requiring extra field operations: crane/ROV attempts, targeted cleanup, extra R&D and PR activity but no city-wide evacuation.
multi-hour manifestation
targeted heavy-lift/ROV operations
localized decontamination and PR response
🚨
Major Evacuation
$8.9M/yr
Large-radius manifestation reaching evacuation threshold: city-border evacuations, deployment of stabilization devices, large-scale remediation, and large cover operations.

Confidence Notes
Cost ranges and incident frequencies are highly uncertain due to unknown maximum effect radius, stochastic manifestation timing, and bespoke hardware (Class A stabilizers). Many line items are contingency-oriented and reflect high variance; hence low confidence.
