One-time capital requirements are large (~$147M) driven primarily by a deep-time endowment and long-tail continuity guarantees (manufacture/storage of specific tracker models, contingency reserves, vaulting). Annual operating costs are moderate (~$3.33M/yr), driven by security and Chronology personnel, ongoing monitoring/maintenance, and legal/cover operations.

Equipment $7.7M
[#4, #12, #23, #7] CCTV/sensor install, armored transport capsule/remote-manipulator vehicles, replica keystone manufacture, manufacture/deep-storage of Model XRTD-MCD/IV units (midpoint estimates).

Decommissioning Reserve $5.5M
[#25] Planning reserve for eventual decommissioning/transfer (midpoint estimate).
Insurance Reserve $2.0M
[#20] One-time litigation/indemnity reserve to cover large legal actions or seizures.

Logistics And Transport $60K/yr
[#12] Readiness training/drills and maintenance for armored transport/extraction equipment (annualized).
Xrt Model Storage Maintenance $60K/yr
[#7] Annual maintenance, environmental control and checks for stored XRTD-MCD/IV units (mid-range).

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $3.3M/yr
97.9% probability / year

🚨 Minor Incident $3.8M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$500K vs baseline
Small unauthorized contact or localized incident requiring amnestic deployment, legal response, and short-term surge in staffing/monitoring.

🚨 Major Breach $13.3M/yr
0.1% probability / year +$10.0M vs baseline
Significant containment failure or cross-temporal incursion requiring deployment of contingency fund, emergency extraction/transport, large-scale amnestics, legal defense and possible repairs.

Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 8 [#3] 24/7 on-site security coverage (three shifts, includes overtime/hazard pay).
Chronologist 2 [#5] Chronology Department temporal specialists performing yearly documentation audit and monitoring.

📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are low-confidence due to wide ranges in century-scale obligations, multiple viable operational strategies (purchase vs lease, manufacture vs legal trust), and highly uncertain probabilities for temporal incidents; many assumptions use mid-range values.
