Annual recurring
$19.2M
Personnel

One-time setup ~ $40.6M driven by area-wide surveillance deployment, sentinel program initial costs, legal buyouts and reserves; recurring operations ~ $19.2M/yr driven by staff wages, long-term mitigation, monitoring and covert/local influence.

Equipment $600K
[#5] Precision instrumentation (high-speed cameras, atomic clock references, accelerometers, vibration isolation, spectral/EM sensors, micro-EEG coupling hardware) — one-time purchase and spares; recurring calibration cost handled separately.

[#1, #24] Containment chamber upgrades (reinforced mount, acoustic dampening, environmental monitoring, redundant power/UPS) plus one-time biosecurity/building upgrades (footbaths, quarantine pens). Estimate is midpoint of provided ranges aggregated.
🔄 Annual Recurring Costs Total: $19.2M/yr
Long Term Mitigation $5.0M/yr
[#25] Annual allocation toward multi-year policy, lobbying and legislative efforts to restrict pig operations across the 80-mile radius; chosen as a sustained mid-level campaign budget within provided multi-year range.
Staff Wages $3.8M/yr
[#3, #4, #8, #12, #18] Ongoing salaries and benefits for 24/7 security (12 guards + supervisors), Department of Applied Horology research team, embedded real-estate operatives (salaries portion), field veterinary rapid-response staffing and intelligence personnel. Sum of midpoints for listed personnel wages/benefits.
Research And Monitoring $2.8M/yr
[#7, #15, #16, #19] Area-surveillance operations & data processing, secure comms maintenance, epidemiology/economic modeling studies, and ongoing contingency research/assays. Sum of midpoints for recurring monitoring and research budgets.
Cover Story And Legal $2.2M/yr
[#9, #17] Ongoing legal monitoring/litigation budget and cover-story/public relations operations (fake agencies, media management). Combined midpoints of recurring legal and PR estimates.
Compensation Fund $1.0M/yr
[#11] Annual compensation/NDAs/productivity restitution to affected farmers. Chosen as a moderate recurring allocation within a very wide range.
Public Safety Emergency Fund $1.0M/yr
[#13] Annual fund to coordinate discreet emergency responses, temporary closures and contingency response to mass-sleep events; maintains rapid-access event budget.
Covert Ops Budget $1.0M/yr
[#14] Annual untraceable operations budget for local influence, small bribes, and covert intelligence payments to block permits or misattribute events. Midpoint selection from provided range.
Insurance And Reserve Annual $1.0M/yr
[#22] Annual contribution to insurance/indemnities and replenishment of contingency reserves for litigation or large incidents.
Supplies And Consumables $530K/yr
[#5, #6, #20] Recurring instrument calibration/consumables, sentinel maintenance (data fees, vet visits, replacements) and replacement consumables (collars, batteries, implantables). Aggregated midpoints of provided recurring ranges.
Facilities Maintenance $488K/yr
[#2, #24] Site-222 pro rata overhead (utilities, security infrastructure, janitorial, waste handling) plus recurring biosecurity consumables/maintenance (footbaths, quarantine upkeep). Midpoint sums.
Logistics And Transport $238K/yr
[#21] Secure transport for staff, field teams and sample transfers, including vehicles, fuel, and refrigerated transport maintenance. Midpoint of provided recurring range.
Personnel Vetting Training $150K/yr
[#23] Continuous vetting, background checks and training for staff and embedded operatives. Midpoint of provided recurring range.
Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $19.2M/yr
30.0% probability / year
Normal year with routine monitoring, scheduled experiments, monthly REM events managed without major escalation.
regular monthly REM events no large farm losses no major political/legal escalation
🚨 Minor Incident $20.2M/yr
60.0% probability / year +$1.0M vs baseline
Year with multiple moderate mass-REM events requiring frequent field vet response, increased telemetry replacement, small compensation payouts and emergency coordination.
multiple REM events with localized impacts increased sentinel failures heightened need for vet rapid-response
🚨 Major Breach $69.2M/yr
8.0% probability / year +$50.0M vs baseline
Large-scale event (mass animal mortality, major public exposure or costly litigation) forcing large compensation payouts, emergency buyouts and major legal/PR operations.
mass pig mortality or public revelation class-action litigation widespread infrastructure damage
🚨 Research Scaleup And Policy Campaign $44.2M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$25.0M vs baseline
Strategic decision year to aggressively scale surveillance, buy targeted parcels/easements and run sustained legislative campaigns.
scientific breakthrough necessitating scale-up policy window for zoning/state legislative action

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes and SCP text provide clear categories and many ranges, but almost every major line item has very wide ranges and multiple mitigation paths (easements vs buyouts vs influence) making precise budgeting uncertain; medium confidence in structure, low-to-medium in specific dollar precision.
