Annual recurring
$8.5M
Personnel

Initial capital costs are dominated by property acquisition and potential buffer-zone buyouts (~$9M in this estimate), while recurring costs are driven by security/payroll and specialized staff (~$8.5M/yr). Major incidents (breach, mass casualty) could add tens of millions in a single year.

📋 Confidence Notes
Containment staffing, perimeter radius, and documented medical/forensic needs provide a reasonably well-defined cost basis, but large ranges for buyouts, legal settlements, and anomalous equipment degradation create material uncertainty.
