Initial capital setup is dominated by one-time transport and speculative containment R&D costs (~$78M total one-time including a $50M pilot). Recurring operations are sizable due to field-agent wages, monitoring liaisons, logistics and cover-up, yielding roughly $19M/year.

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $19.0M/yr
90.0% probability / year
Normal operational year with no major incidents or special large-scale projects; routine monitoring, responses and research continue.
10 expected Rozhdeniya events/year routine monitoring and stakeouts no breaches or containment pilots
🚨 Minor Incident $21.0M/yr
8.0% probability / year +$2.0M vs baseline
A year with elevated activity (multiple simultaneous events, targeted legal/PR spikes, additional emergency medical responses) but no large-scale containment attempt.
clustered Rozhdeniya events increased false positives requiring more stakeouts heightened PR/legal expenditures
🚨 Attempted Containment Pilot $69.0M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$50.0M vs baseline
Foundation initiates a speculative pilot program to attempt direct capture/containment (large one-time R&D/asset outlay).
