Initial capital costs are dominated by property acquisition, structural work and possible relocation options (~$2.64M total one-time). Recurring annual costs are driven by on-site security and scientific staff, contingency pooling, and long-term research (~$1.78M/yr).

Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 9 [#4] 3 guards/shift × 3 shifts = 9 FTE (includes supervisors and relief), salary basis used in staff_wages.
Research Scientist 3 [#12] Biologists/pathologists (3 scientists as core FTE included in research staffing estimate).
Technician 2 [#12] Lab/field technicians for sample handling (2 techs included in research staffing estimate).
Medical Officer 1 [#13] On-call paramedic/nurse allocation reflected in medical staffing line item.
📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line items and reasonable ranges for most costs, enabling a structured estimate. Significant uncertainty remains due to wide ranges on property/relocation options, contingency sizing, and potential high-cost breach scenarios, so confidence is medium.
