Initial one-time setup is dominated by site acquisition, perimeter construction and permanent facility buildout (~$78M total one-time). Recurring costs (~$26.15M/yr) are driven by long-term staffing, R&D/instrument ops, international monitoring and program-level contingency/monitoring overhead.

Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $26.2M/yr
94.0% probability / year
Normal year with steady operations, no major incidents or breaches.

🚨 Minor Incident $28.2M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$2.0M vs baseline
Localized containment incident or small public exposure requiring tactical response, legal action and extra mnestic deployments.

🚨 Major Breach $36.2M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$10.0M vs baseline
Significant containment failure requiring mass evacuation, large-scale mnestic/reversal efforts, international coordination and major legal/diplomatic action.

Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent (security posts) 40 [#5] 24/7 guard force (static posts, patrols) estimated from $2,000,000/yr (~$50k all-in average).

📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates derived from analyst ranges; many items (R&D needs, site acquisition in peri-urban London, and contingency reserves) have wide ranges and high uncertainty. Staffing and routine ops are better-defined, but anomaly-specific R&D and escalation scenarios are speculative.
