Initial startup capital is roughly $4.45M driven by AI integration, lab/containment buildout, equipment purchases and an emergency reserve; ongoing yearly operations are about $2.52M driven mainly by personnel (research + SAURON analysts), security, SAURON compute, and legal/PR/compliance costs.

Cost Scenarios
📊
Baseline
(baseline)
$2.5M/yr
Normal year with low incidence and routine operations; no major incidents or public exposure.
low incidence (archived/near-neutralized status)
routine monitoring and scheduled upkeep
🚨
Minor Incident
$2.8M/yr
Localized uptick in manifestations requiring multiple extractions and increased PR/legal activity but no wide breach.
cluster of local cases
targeted media attention requiring PR/legal response
🚨
Major Breach
$4.0M/yr
Widespread public exposure or outbreak requiring emergency mobilization, mass patient retrieval, and large-scale eradication efforts.
mass exposures or loss of containment
significant media/political attention

Confidence Notes
Numerous line items are range-based and several analyst notes contain inconsistent breakdowns (e.g., SAURON compute vs. total). Physical containment needs are well-specified but incident frequency is uncertain (archived status implies rarity). Estimates are midpoints and include conservative contingency.
