$6.5M
Annual recurring
$17.1M
Personnel
22
One-time setup ~ $6.54M for construction and equipment (BSL‑4 suite, blast doors, robotics, HVAC, power, transport); recurring operations ~ $17.05M/yr driven by security & medical staffing, research programs, field response, long-term care and contingency reserves.
🏗️ One-Time Capital Costs Total: $6.5M
Facilities $4.0M
[#1, #2, #3] Construction of a single BSL‑4-equivalent containment suite, structural hardening and installation of two reverse‑pressure airlocks and shower sterilization.
Equipment $2.5M
[#4, #5, #6, #7, #9, #10, #11, #16, #20, #21, #27, #28, #30] HVAC initial install, redundant UPS/generator, containment robotics, hazmat suit purchase, autoclave + onsite incinerator, secure sample storage, CCTV & sensors, euthanasia equipment, air sampling instrumentation, transport vehicles & containment canisters, IT/hardened systems, initial consumable stockpile, minor mechanical blockers and sensors.

[]
🔄 Annual Recurring Costs Total: $17.1M/yr
Automaton Long Term Care $3.0M/yr
[#25] Baseline funding for long‑term secure housing and care of retained Automatons (assumes a small cohort retained; per‑individual costs are highly variable).
Research And Monitoring $2.6M/yr
[#10, #19, #20] Ongoing clinical & virology research program (staff, trials, BSL‑4 consumables), secure sample storage monitoring and environmental/air detection consumables and assays.
Per Patient Supportive Care $2.5M/yr
[#17] Acute supportive care costs for exposed/infected individuals (estimated per‑case costs aggregated across expected caseload before euthanasia or long‑term care).
Logistics And Transport $2.3M/yr
[#21, #22] Operational costs for armored HazMat transport (drivers, fuel, maintenance) and field response / epidemiology teams (vehicles, training, rapid‑response stockpile).
Staff Wages $2.1M/yr
[#12, #13, #14, #15] 24/7 armed security staffing (guards + benefits), specialized medical staff, full‑time decontamination technicians, psychological care/ethics oversight (salaries + benefits).
Contingency Reserve $2.0M/yr
[#29] General contingency for equipment replacement, legal liabilities, relocation or unexpected escalations (recommended 10–30% tiered reserve).
Environmental Remediation Reserve $1.0M/yr
[#24] Annual reserve for localized environmental remediation and monitoring; scales dramatically in major urban events.
Cover Story And Legal $750K/yr
[#23] Public health notification, cover stories, legal fees, PR containment and payments to local authorities for secrecy.
Supplies And Consumables $280K/yr
[#8, #16, #28] PPE/consumables and disinfectants, minor per‑euthanasia procedural consumables, replenishment of mass‑incident consumable stockpile.
Cremation Costs $280K/yr
[#9, #18] Contracted cremation for euthanized bodies (example baseline: ~200 annual cremations at midrange).
Facilities Maintenance $122K/yr
[#4, #5, #7, #11, #27] HEPA filter replacement/validation, generator fuel & maintenance, hazmat suit maintenance & certification, CCTV/sensor maintenance, baseline IT/hardware maintenance.
Training And Drills $95K/yr
[#26] Regular drills, certifications, tabletop exercises and external compliance audits.
It Maintenance $40K/yr
[#27] Maintenance for hardened, air‑gapped record systems, secure backups and black budget accounting.
Minor Containment Maintenance $0/yr
[#30] Ongoing monitoring for minor mechanical blockers and slot covers is folded into CCTV/monitoring budgets; no separate annual cost estimated.
⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $17.1M/yr
89.0% probability / year
Normal operational year with no major containment failures; routine research, staffing, field patrols and reserves funded.
no breaches routine field activity standard research operations
🚨 Minor Incident $18.6M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$1.5M vs baseline
Localized accidental activation or small release requiring targeted decon, short‑term surge care, limited public handling and modest remediation.
small containment breach 1–20 external exposures localized cleanup
🚨 Major Breach $67.1M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$50.0M vs baseline
Urban 500 m aerosolization event or major facility breach triggering mass decontamination, large healthcare surge, demolition/soil remediation and extensive litigation/cover operations.
500 m radius aerosolization mass public exposures large‑scale environmental remediation
👥 Personnel 22 total
Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 11 [#12] 24/7 armed security staffing across three shifts (10–12 guards assumed; 11 used here).
Medical Officer 3 [#13] Specialized medical staff and on‑call emergency physicians (2–4 staff; 3 used).
Decontamination Technician 6 [#14] Full‑time decon technicians (4–8 technicians; 6 used).
Psychological Care / Ethics Staff 2 [#15] Psychologists, counselors and Ethics Committee oversight staff (aggregated).
📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates use midpoints of broad ranges in analyst notes and Foundation policy assumptions; major uncertainties include true frequency of external exposures, number of retained Automatons, and scale of remediation after an urban aerosolization, so medium confidence is appropriate.
