Expected annual
$3.2M
One-time setup
$3.9M
Annual recurring
$3.1M
Personnel

Initial one-time setup is moderate (~$3.9M) dominated by property acquisition, physical sealing/renovation, and contingency reserves; ongoing annual operations are substantial (~$3.13M/yr) driven primarily by staffing and cyber/diplomatic monitoring and response. Major cost risk arises from episodic international cyber/extraction operations which can add millions in a single year.

🚨 Major International Response $6.1M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$3.0M vs baseline
Significant exposure or multiple subjects leading to international cyber intrusions, MTF overseas extraction, diplomatic/legal crises and heavy PR response.

📋 Confidence Notes
Operational costs for on-site containment (property, sealing, security) are well-described; large uncertainty remains for per-incident international cyber/extraction and diplomatic expenses (very wide ranges), hence medium confidence.
