Initial one-time capitalization is approximately $5.2M driven primarily by containment chamber construction, on-site incineration and specialized equipment; ongoing annual operating costs are roughly $3.0M/yr driven by staff wages, R&D/monitoring, quarantine readiness, and contingency reserves.

Confidence Notes
Estimates use mid-range selections from analyst-provided ranges; containment equipment and staffing are well-described but many line items (reserve sizing, R&D scope, field eradication scale, and breach probabilities) are uncertain, so a medium confidence rating is appropriate.
