Initial setup capital is approximately $943,000 (site acquisition, hardening, surveillance, vehicles, research build-out and reserves). Annual operating costs are approximately $2,140,000 driven primarily by covert 24/7 security staffing, medical/casualty reserves, legal/media suppression and ongoing research/monitoring.

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $2.1M/yr
82.0% probability / year
Normal year with steady-state containment, scheduled research, cover operations and no major incidents.
no major breaches routine testing cycles standard media takedown activity
🚨 Minor Incident $2.3M/yr
15.0% probability / year +$200K vs baseline
Small containment incident or limited injury event requiring emergency response, limited medical surgery and increased media/legal activity.
limited breach or recovery operation several injuries requiring surgery localized media leak requiring extra takedowns
🚨 Major Breach $3.1M/yr
3.0% probability / year +$1.0M vs baseline
Significant breach or catastrophic incident with multiple severe injuries, large legal exposure and major containment/reconstruction effort.
mass-casualty recovery major legal/political exposure extensive equipment replacement and reconstruction

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line-item ranges, especially for recurring personnel and contingency needs, but incident frequency and severity remain uncertain; estimates use midpoints and conservative contingency allocations, yielding medium confidence.
