One-time setup (property purchase, structural work, and contingency reserve) dominates costs (~$575k one-time); recurring annual costs driven by staff wages, property carrying costs, monitoring, and insurance (~$186k/yr).
🏗️ One-Time Capital Costs Total: $574K
Facilities $419K
[#1, #3, #5] Purchase of the Super Crunchy Bagels property (chosen acquisition path for baseline) plus structural survey/inspection and immediate repairs/stabilization and initial perimeter deterrents (boarding/fencing/initial signage).
Contingency Reserve Initial $100K
[#19] Initial contingency/reserve fund for small-to-moderate anomaly response (seed fund; larger responses budgeted in scenarios).
Equipment $34K
[#4, #6, #9, #11, #17] CCTV/camera/sensor installation and related hardware, reinforced door/lock/lockbox initial install, borescope/high-res cameras/air sampler and miscellaneous remote-observation kit, small dehumidifier, and initial secure IT/server hardware.
Legal And Title Fees $9K
[#2] Title transfer, front-company legal work, closing costs, and record sealing.
Cover Story Setup $5K
[#14] One-time costs to establish cover (front company, fake registration, initial website/signage/setup).
Emergency Readiness Kit $5K
[#20] Initial PPE, decon station setup, spill/hazmat kits and first-aid supplies.
Initial Nda And Training $3K
[#15] Initial legal drafting of NDAs, initial training sessions and background checks for assigned staff.
Initial Research And Lab Setup $0
[]
🔄 Annual Recurring Costs Total: $186K/yr
Staff Wages $103K/yr
[#7, #8] Field inspection/team time (approx. 0.75–1.0 FTE research/field agent) plus contracted periodic security/nightly checks (baseline: periodic contract checks rather than 24/7 guards).
Opportunity Costs $44K/yr
[#21] Property taxes, carrying costs, and foregone rent/resale value associated with ownership of the site (baseline assumes purchase).
Facilities Maintenance $19K/yr
[#4, #5, #6, #11, #12, #16] Ongoing CCTV monitoring service, alarm/lock maintenance, perimeter maintenance, HVAC/dehumidifier electricity/repairs, pest control, and locksmith routine contract and call-outs.
Cover Story And Legal $6K/yr
[#14, #15, #13] Ongoing cover maintenance (website/PR/signage), recurring legal audits/NDAs refresher training, and insurance/liability premiums.
Logistics And Transport $4K/yr
[#18] Vehicle rentals/fuel, equipment moves, per-diem and travel for visiting staff and ad hoc contractor trips.
Supplies And Consumables $3K/yr
[#9, #20, #22] Consumables for remote-observation gear calibration, sampling consumables, PPE replacements and minor on-site consumables.
Research And Monitoring $3K/yr
[#10, #9] Periodic non-intrusive materials analysis campaigns and occasional lab testing (microscopy, metallurgy, ink analysis) plus minor calibration campaigns.
Secure Data Hosting $2K/yr
[#17] Recurring hosting, backups, encryption/IT support for classified documentation and secure servers.
Miscellaneous Small Costs $2K/yr
[#22] Permits, local contractor small fees, hospitality for cover plausibility, and incidentals.
Long Term Containment $0/yr
[#19] Long-term containment costs if anomaly persists; set to 0 in baseline (fund reserved one-time and scenario-driven funding).
⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $186K/yr
85.0% probability / year
Routine year with no anomalous discovery beyond sealed rooms; regular monitoring, periodic visits, and maintenance only.
routine_monitoring no_anomalous_discovery periodic_maintenance
🚨 Minor Incident $201K/yr
10.0% probability / year +$15K vs baseline
Vandalism, minor breach, small localized remediation or emergency visit requiring repairs and overtime.
vandalism minor_breach small_anomalous_item_found
🚨 Major Anomaly Containment $936K/yr
4.0% probability / year +$750K vs baseline
Discovery of an anomalous item/room requiring emergency containment, specialist equipment, and possible short-term relocation/MTF deployment.
anomalous_item_recovered biohazard_or_specialist_containment_needed
🚨 Catastrophic Breach $10.2M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$10.0M vs baseline
Severe anomalous event (sentient/reality-affecting or biohazard) requiring full secure lab construction, extended MTF operations, long-term containment and medical costs.

Role Count Notes
Research Scientist / Field Agent 1 Primary assigned investigator who performs monthly inspections and documentation; salary budgeted in staff_wages [#8]. Contracted security is used for perimeter checks rather than in-house guards.
📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes are detailed on local costs and options, so estimates for routine operations are moderate confidence; however the object's anomalous potential is unknown (object class Unknown) and contingency/containment costs are highly uncertain, lowering overall confidence.
