Initial (one-time) setup and contingencies are estimated at approximately $3.22M, driven by property acquisition, structural sealing/retrofit, decommissioning contingency and specialized lab/setup. Annual operations are expected to run roughly $2.60M/yr, driven primarily by staff wages (security, containment crew, research), ongoing R&D, medical/surgical standby and administrative overhead.

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $2.6M/yr
85.0% probability / year
Normal year with no major incidents; regular operations, scheduled research and occasional small consumable replacements.
no significant exposures scheduled R&D and maintenance
🚨 Minor Incident $2.7M/yr
12.0% probability / year +$60K vs baseline
Single-significant exposure or containment uptick requiring additional PPE replacement, deep cleaning and limited additional surgical interventions.
single significant exposure localized contamination requiring deep cleaning one or two additional surgical removals
🚨 Major Breach $4.7M/yr
3.0% probability / year +$2.1M vs baseline
Large-scale containment failure or exposure requiring emergency mobilization, extensive incineration/remediation or site demolition and mass response.
mass infection event failed organ removal escalation public exposure necessitating demolition/remediation

📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates use midpoints of provided ranges and explicit analyst figures where available. Uncertainty remains in incident frequency, required R&D budget, and extent of possible decommissioning; anomalous regenerative behavior and per-incident costs are hard to predict.
