One-time capital/setup (containment cell, medical/equipment, initial research and contingency) is substantial; recurring annual operations are dominated by security and medical staffing, research and mitigation programs, and contracted hospital/legal services. Baseline annual operating cost is roughly $2.25M, with episodic medical events or a mitigation scale-up able to add hundreds of thousands per year.

Initial Research And Lab Setup $500K
[#17] Dedicated research program equipment and imaging/lab setup (MRI/CT access, molecular sampling, containment-grade sampling) estimated at ~$500k (mid-range).
Contingency Reserve $500K

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide itemized line estimates for each cost area; values here use midpoints and conservative program allocations. Uncertainty remains for high-variance items (major surgeries, long-term mitigation program scale), but baseline staffing and facilities figures are well-supported.
