One-time setup
$125K
Annual recurring
$63K
Personnel

Initial one-time containment/setup costs are moderate (~$125k), driven mainly by a soundproof isolation chamber, thermal transport container, biosafety/sample storage setup, and a contingency reserve. Annual recurring costs are modest-to-moderate (~$63k/yr), driven by ongoing research/monitoring, staff labor for manual fills, data storage/bandwidth and administrative/compliance overhead.

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $63K/yr
94.0% probability / year
Normal year with routine monitoring, manual fills (or automated system maintenance) and periodic research activities; no thermal-runaway or multiple marrow incidents.

🚨 Minor Incident $78K/yr
5.0% probability / year +$15K vs baseline
Single-year thermal-runaway / contamination event requiring emergency transport, one medical treatment, additional pathology and replacement/cleanup.

🚨 Major Incident $163K/yr
1.0% probability / year +$100K vs baseline
Multiple thermal/runaway events or escalation (frequent marrow production, staff injury, memetic exposure) requiring major containment upgrades, relocation or large-scale research response.

📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are drawn directly from analyst-provided ranges; frequencies (events/year) and staffing model (manual vs automated fills) were assumed where unspecified, creating moderate uncertainty. Contingency and incident costs have wide ranges and could materially change totals.
