Estimated one-time setup costs are approximately $9.19M driven by secure cell construction, a secure research lab buildout, contingency reserves, and initial breach-response assets. Annual operating costs are approximately $4.77M/yr driven mainly by rapid-response/tactical readiness, research operations, and ongoing security/clinical staffing.

Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 6 [#2] Continuous coverage 'two guards at all times' implies ~6 FTEs to staff shifts, included in staff_wages estimate.

📋 Confidence Notes
The SCP file and analyst notes provide ranges and high uncertainty about biological/biohazard properties and required biosafety level; many line items are contingent on unknown anomalous behavior. Estimates use mid-range assumptions and Foundation budgeting heuristics; significant variance (+/- large multiples) is possible.
