First-year one-time costs are roughly $629,050 driven by facility retrofits, containment hardware, initial research setup, legal/contingency reserves, and capture operations. Ongoing annual costs are about $528,425/yr driven by staff wages, research/monitoring, veterinary care, and security readiness.

brief escape local property damage MTF rapid recapture
🚨 Major Breach $1.0M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$500K vs baseline

Role Count Notes
Research Scientist (Level-4 oversight) 1 [#7] Senior scientist on-call/allocated (Level-4) overseeing interactions; portion of salary charged to project.
Security Officer / Site Guard 2 [#8] On-site guards for 24/7 containment area coverage (rotation); additional MTF teams are on-call but not counted as on-site headcount.
📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line items and ranges, enabling a reasoned budget; however many items have wide ranges (capture, retrofit, research intensity, contingency needs) and memetic risk adds uncertainty, so confidence is medium.
