Initial capital expenditures are roughly $9.2M driven by vault construction, heavy equipment (robotics, termination hardware, monitoring/suction), and a dedicated contingency reserve; annual operations are approximately $4.285M/yr driven primarily by specialized staffing, MTF readiness, and recurring research/maintenance.

Baseline
(baseline)
$4.3M/yr
Normal operational year with no major Choir Event causing sector-level damage; routine staffing, maintenance, training and research costs only.

🚨
Minor Incident
$4.5M/yr
Single, localized Choir Event requiring MTF deployment, medical treatment, waste handling and limited repairs without major spatial anomaly.

🚨
Major Spatial Event
$10.3M/yr
Severe Choir Event leading to large-scale structural destruction and a spatial anomaly requiring contingency fund use and large-scale remediation.

Confidence Notes
Estimates use midpoints of provided ranges and map each analyst line item; however per-event costs and spatial-anomaly impacts are highly uncertain so confidence is medium rather than high.
