Initial one-time setup and containment infrastructure are estimated at several million dollars, driven mainly by facility retrofits, contingency reserves, and secure digital migration; ongoing annual costs are dominated by staff wages, clinical/research operations, cyber monitoring, and legal/insurance. Expect roughly $4.2M in up-front costs and ~$2.47M per year to operate in a conservative steady-state.

📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are based on analyst-provided ranges and mid-point assumptions; many line items are scenario-dependent (medical/surgical needs, contingency drawdowns, and legal outcomes) which create uncertainty. Coverage of every numbered note is explicit, but actual costs could vary materially if PoI develops active thaumic manifestations.
