Initial containment requires significant one-time facility and equipment investment (notably an archival vault, armored robot bays, EMP/neutralization hardware and a contingency reserve); recurring costs are driven by specialized staff wages, security response, research/monitoring, and ongoing maintenance and utilities.

Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed categories and large ranges; many costs (likelihood of replication, scale of potential breaches, and contingency sizing) are highly uncertain, producing medium confidence in dollar estimates.
