One-time setup and preservation costs are modest (~$83.6k mostly driven by optional clinical trial and legal/contingency provisioning); baseline annual operating costs are low (~$24.7k) driven by fractional staff oversight and monitoring, HVAC share, pest control, and small incident/cover budgets.

🚨 Major Breach $55K/yr
0.5% probability / year +$30K vs baseline
Significant exposure or damage requiring emergency conservation, replacement, expanded legal/cover actions, and possible public remediation.

Role Count Notes
Containment Technician / Registrar 0.1 Quarterly inspections, inventory checks, fractional oversight (0.05–0.1 FTE mapped to #8).
Research Analyst / Monitoring 0.15 Post-raid monitoring and analyst time (0.1–0.3 FTE mapped to #14).
📋 Confidence Notes
Notes provide detailed line-item ranges for most costs (lockers, archival supplies, monitoring, pest control), but several items (legal/raid historical, trial cost, monitoring FTE) are wide ranges and involve optional programs; thus overall confidence is moderate.
