Estimated one-time setup costs are approximately $83,500, driven primarily by room conversion, hardware (shutter/cameras/sensors) and a contingency reserve; recurring annual costs are about $43,350/year, driven mainly by a modest research program, part-time research administration, and security/maintenance overhead.

Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide specific line-item ranges for most costs, especially hardware and recurring services, but uncertain human behavioral factors (escalation risk) and optional contingency choices leave moderate uncertainty.
