Equipment $1.1M
[#3, #4, #5, #7, #8, #9, #11] Sensor hardware, initial servers/integration, drone fleet purchase, field vehicles & fitout, telepresence rigs, mobile mortuary unit, cryo/freezer vaults and instrumentation initial purchases.
Facilities $875K
[#1] Gates/locked barriers, hardened signage, trail closures, engineering, permits and civil works for multiple park entrances.
One Time Government Settlement $500K
[#15] Possible one-time upfront settlement/grant to park authorities or government to secure cooperation (mid-range estimate of potential settlement).
Ranger Equipment And Training Initial $90K
[#16] Initial satellite phones, emergency beacons, training and one-time equipment for rangers (solo-patrol protocol equipment/training).
🔄 Annual Recurring Costs Total: $4.8M/yr
Staff Wages $2.7M/yr
[#5, #10, #12, #13, #17, #20] Salaries/benefits for MTF/containment team, research scientists, lab technicians, drone operator(s), social-media/OSINT analyst and administrative/program staff.
Contingency Reserve $500K/yr
[#18] Reserve for anomalous equipment destruction, unexpected escalation, expanded MTF deployments and large unplanned responses.
Government Liaison And Grants $300K/yr
[#15] Ongoing payments/grants to park authority and government liaison to secure cooperation, reimburse lost revenue and training grants.
Facilities Maintenance $285K/yr
[#2, #10] Annual maintenance/replacement of barriers/locks; utilities and maintenance for secure annex (negative-pressure systems, HVAC, power redundancy).
Logistics And Transport $230K/yr
[#6, #7, #5] Aviation/ground logistics operations: vehicle fuel/maintenance, short-range response logistics and baseline flight/transport ops (excludes extra flight-hours billed per incident).
Research And Monitoring $200K/yr
[#12] Non-salary research costs: field studies, modeling, testing supplies, ethical/legal review and non-staff program expenses.
Aviation Contingency $150K/yr
[#6] Helicopter medevac/recovery contract retainer (flight-hours billed separately on incident).
Administrative Overhead $125K/yr
[#20] Program management, auditing of cover-up expenses, intergovernmental agreement compliance and archival storage costs.
Cover Story And Legal $100K/yr
[#14] Annual legal retainer and PR/cover-story readiness (small baseline fund); large per-incident payouts handled in incident scenarios.
Data Communications And Storage $60K/yr
[#4] Cloud/on-site storage, secure uplink and archival costs (monthly cloud/storage charges and integration support).
Ranger Stipends And Refresher $60K/yr

Sample Storage Power And Monitoring $25K/yr
[#11] Power, LN2 replenishment and monitoring for cryo/freezer vaults and cold chain redundancy.
Supplies And Consumables $0/yr
[]
Recovery And Forensic Response $0/yr
[#9] Forensic/autopsy/toxicology and per-victim processing are charged per-incident; baseline annual expectation handled in scenario modeling.
Coverup Per Incident $0/yr
[#14] Per-incident legal/settlement/hush payments vary widely; modeled in incident scenarios rather than baseline recurring.
Environmental Remediation Per Incident $0/yr
[#19] Per-incident remediation/park repair handled as incident costs; baseline annual cost variable and modeled in scenarios.
⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $4.8M/yr
80.0% probability / year

📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates derive from analyst ranges in notes but many per-incident costs and incident frequency are uncertain; capital and staffing choices can vary widely, so confidence is medium.
