[#17] One-time recommended reserve (minimum recommended $1,000,000 of the $500k–$5,000,000 range). Held for emergency repairs, procurement, or urgent mitigation.

[#4, #6, #10, #11, #12, #13, #16] Cameras/mediated-visual control room hardware, initial PPE stock, vitals/biometric monitors, restraint hardware, optional in-house specialized imaging purchase (partial), IT/server setup, and vehicle purchase/mods. Uses mid-range purchase assumptions where ranges given.

[#2, #3, #5, #21] Reinforced human-rated cell fit-out, secondary vault/airlock and redundant barriers, anti-line-of-sight engineering (blinds/anterooms/light traps), and generator/UPS purchase and installation. Estimates are midpoints of ranges provided.

[#12, #25] Initial research program setup and lab-specific instrumentation/program seed funding (initial tranche of experimental program). Does not double-count imaging hardware included under equipment when external-access scenario is chosen.

[#28] One-time contingency for safe transfer, decommissioning, or final disposition (midpoint of $50k–$500k).

[#1] External hazard assessment, consultants, legal review and retainer to clarify ambiguous manipulation ranges and mediated-vision rules. Midpoint of analyst range.

[#19] Initial cover-story/PR setup and local community relations (midpoint of $20k–$200k initial estimate).

[#7, #8, #9, #26] Project lead, research staff and technician salaries (~$465k), 24/7 guards + RRT (~$570k), medical/psychiatric staffing (~$250k), and psychological support program allotment (part of above estimate).

[#18, #19, #27] Legal retainer and insurance/self-insurance funding (legal retainer + insurance), ongoing PR/cover-story maintenance, and small annualized allowance for low-frequency emergent legal/PR actions.

[#10, #12, #25] Ongoing vitals equipment servicing and disposable sensors, recurring access fees for specialized imaging if not purchased outright, and annualized research program costs for continued experiments and studies.

[#6, #11, #15, #22, #26] PPE replacement, sedation drugs and medical disposables (annual usage), experimental single-use lab supplies, biomedical waste disposal and routine decontamination, and small portion of psychological support consumables.

[#14] Administrative scheduling, overtime coordination, and compliance training overhead to enforce 'entire team present' policies and session coordination.

[#20] Regular training, simulation exercises, protocol updates, and RRT drills.

[#29] Annual replacement/depreciation budget (5–15% of capital assets) to maintain cameras, monitors, medical devices, and vehicles.

[#4, #21, #3] Annual maintenance for observation/control hardware, HVAC and environmental systems, generator/UPS servicing, and tamper sensor upkeep.

[#16] Per-transport operational costs (armored/opaque transfer operations, dedicated personnel) averaged across expected transfers per year.

[#23] Ongoing IRB-equivalent oversight, external audits, documentation, and ethics committee support for human-subject anomalous research.

[#13] Ongoing IT security operations, encrypted/air-gapped backups, clearance-level IT training refreshers, and classified records handling operations.

[#27] Small annual allowance for archive/legal destruction / cover-up logistics; per-incident costs range $50k–$500k and would be funded from contingency or incident response budgets when required.
