Initial capital expenditure for a limited program (a few quarantine sites plus a central research/containment facility) is estimated at roughly $40.8M, with annual operating costs around $10.11M; major cost drivers are facility build-out, BSL-4 anomalous lab setup, robotics/drones, and multi-disciplinary research and staffing.

Confidence Notes
Notes provide detailed component ranges, but large uncertainties remain in scale (percentage of eidomorphs affected, transfer cadence, likelihood of breaches, and anomalous engineering unknowns). Costing assumes a limited multi-site program; scaling to many sites or global responses would materially change estimates.
