One-time setup and structural upgrades are the main capital drivers (fireproofing, suppression, specialized instrumentation, and a catastrophic contingency reserve). Recurring costs are dominated by staff wages (security and medical), research/testing, emergency readiness, and an annual contingency allocation.

Catastrophic Response Reserve $1.0M
[#26] One-time large reserve for rare catastrophic responses (evacuation, public containment, large-scale remediation).
Initial Research And Lab Setup $500K
[#12, #22] Initial testing equipment/access agreements (metabolic/fMRI access) and long-term specialized instrumentation (calorimetry chambers, high-speed imaging, spectrometry).
Equipment $270K
[#2, #3, #5, #13, #16] Gaseous/dry-chemical suppression system installation, heat-resistant observation/entry hardware, thermal monitoring/alarm suite, dedicated transport vehicle purchase/modification, and backup generator/UPS installed.
Facilities $100K
[#1, #4] Fireproofing of chamber surfaces and dedicated HVAC/exhaust loop installation (walls/ceiling/floor coatings, flameproof ducts, pressure controls).
Initial Training Program $50K
[#14] Initial specialized training program: instructors, simulations, and program setup.
Non Flammable Furniture $10K
[#6] Initial replacement of in-room furnishings and enrichment items with fire-resistant materials.
Relocation Settlement $10K

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $1.6M/yr
94.5% probability / year
Normal year with no significant incidents; routine maintenance, staff wages, research and reserve allocations proceed as planned.
routine_operations scheduled_testing no_incidents
🚨 Minor Incident $1.7M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$20K vs baseline
Small containment incident requiring suppression deployment, cleanup, limited repairs, and extra medical/testing.
localized_fire_event suppression_deployment small_asset_damage
🚨 Major Breach $2.6M/yr
0.5% probability / year +$1.0M vs baseline
Significant containment failure with structural damage, extended emergency response, possible temporary relocation and legal/cover operations.

Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 8 [#8] 24/7 coverage requiring two guards per shift; 8 FTE to staff rotations and supervisors.
Medical Officer 1 [#10] On-call physician/contracted medical oversight for burn/metabolic emergencies.
Medical Nurse 1 [#10] Nursing support for on-site rapid care and burn treatment readiness.
📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line items and wide ranges; mid-point estimates were used but several line items (contingency reserves, long-term research scope, and emergency-readiness) have high uncertainty, so confidence is medium.
