Initial one-time capital requirements are large (~$8.08M) driven by a contingency reserve and potential containment construction; baseline annual operations are about $1.20M, driven by research, legal/PR, staffing, and covert intelligence. Failure or breach events can add hundreds of thousands to multi-million-dollar response costs.

Role Count Notes
Field Operative / Arson Team 6 [#1] Six operatives assigned annually for a 3–4 week December deployment (surveillance + burners); staffing costs prorated into staff_wages.
📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line-item estimates and clear mappings, but several items have wide ranges (e.g., contingency, containment procurement, legal payouts) and per-event costs are highly state-dependent; therefore confidence is medium.
