[#26] Initial citizen-reporting app / hotline / routine-survey setup costs.

[#7, #8, #9] Salaries (loaded) for core research team, field operations / animal-control teams, and security staff (baseline staffing level).

[#31] Annual contribution to a rapid-response reserve to fund sudden outbreaks, containment surges, or discovery of higher-generation chips.

[#35] Administrative/interagency coordination overhead estimated at 15% of core program recurring costs (additive).

[#5, #6, #21, #22, #23, #24, #26, #29, #30, #33] Ongoing software licenses and consumables for reverse-engineering, HPC maintenance/power, ongoing communications/PR, IT/data-security operations/background checks, spectrum monitoring operations, multi-year ecological studies, monitoring program ops, red-teaming/adversarial testing, archival/biobank storage, and equipment maintenance/replacement reserve.

[#28] Annual reserve/allocations for potential lawsuits, settlements, and large legal contingencies (program-level reserve).

[#13, #8, #16] Vehicle operations (fuel/maintenance/insurance), surge team operation budgets, and contract incineration/disposal operational costs.

[#2, #16, #17] Lease/utility costs for regional staging hubs, incinerator/facility maintenance, and site utilities/upkeep.

[#20, #21, #28] Ongoing legal counsel, permits, and baseline communications/cover-story management budgets (excludes large litigation reserves handled separately).

[#11, #12, #17, #18, #10] PPE consumables, trap/bait replacements, decontamination chemicals, specialized PPE replacement, and per-sample pathology consumables/storage power.

[#32] Ongoing training, reimbursements, and small grants to veterinary clinics and shelters to support frontline detection/reporting.
