One-time setup

Annual recurring
$1.7M
Personnel

One-time setup capital is moderate (≈$0.8M) for chamber/HVAC/equipment/R&D; annual operating costs depend heavily on host-replacement frequency (the per-transfer costs and donor operations). Baseline annual recurring cost (monthly host replacement) is about $1.66M, with high-turnover and accidental-infection scenarios raising costs substantially.
🏗️ One-Time Capital Costs Total: $795K
Facilities $420K
[#1, #2, #4] Containment chamber refurbishment ($250k, #1), HVAC/negative-pressure upgrade ($120k, #2), and slurry-collection facility capital ($50k, #4) — structural/construction work and sealed transfer/feed lines.
Initial Research And Lab Setup $250K
[#6] Synthetic slurry R&D/validation one-time research capital ($250k, #6) for lab validation of a non-human slurry analog.
Equipment $125K
[#7, #8, #14] Initial airtight hazmat suits fleet ($40k, #7), specialized nasal extraction capital equipment ($60k, #8), and monitoring/CCTV initial install ($25k, #14).
🔄 Annual Recurring Costs Total: $1.7M/yr
Staff Wages $750K/yr
[#5, #9, #13] Donor-supervision/operations staff (~2 techs and donor-pool support, $160k #5), dedicated medical staff for transfers (1 MD + 2 techs, $290k #9), and dedicated security guards (6 guards, $300k #13).
Emergency Response Reserve $250K/yr
[#17] Annual recommended emergency/containment reserve ($250k, #17) for rapid response, decon, quarantines and temporary capacity.
Administrative Overhead $216K/yr
[#20] Administrative overhead and classified recordkeeping (15% applied to recurring subtotal before overhead per analyst guidance, #20).
Research And Monitoring $170K/yr
[#6, #15] Ongoing research/pathology budget ($150k/yr, #15) plus potential synthetic-slurry production/QA line if approved ($20k/yr production/QA, #6 recurrence).
Cover Story And Legal $100K/yr
[#16] Legal / cover-up / compliance budget ($100k/yr, #16) to maintain plausible deniability, contracts and counsel.
Facilities Maintenance $65K/yr
[#3, #12, #14] HVAC operational energy and filter replacement ($25k/yr, #3), biohazard waste treatment service contracts/sterilization throughput ($30k/yr, #12), and monitoring/storage ops/maintenance ($10k/yr, #14).
Training And Psych Support $45K/yr
[#19] Regular hazmat/transfer training, drills, psychological support and turnover costs ($45k/yr, #19).
Per Transfer Consumables And Processing $32K/yr
[#8, #10, #11] Per-transfer disposable kits and sterile consumables ($200/transfer, #8) + D-Class intake/transport/processing ($2,000/transfer, #10) + corpse disposal ($500/body, #11). Baseline uses 12 transfers/yr (T=30d) → 12×$2,700 = $32,400.
Supplies And Consumables $30K/yr
[#7, #18] Airtight suit maintenance/consumables ($10k/yr, #7) and routine decontamination/consumables ($20k/yr, #18).
Logistics And Transport $0/yr

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $1.7M/yr
93.0% probability / year
Normal year with monthly host replacement (T≈30 days) and donor-derived slurry operations; routine maintenance, staff wages, per-transfer consumables and admin overhead apply.
monthly_host_replacement stable_containment_ops
🚨 High Turnover Daily Replacements $2.8M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$1.1M vs baseline
Sustained high host mortality / very short host lifespan (T≈1 day) driving daily replacements — per-transfer costs dominate and scale linearly with transfers.

🚨 Accidental Infection Non D Staff $2.4M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$750K vs baseline
Accidental infection of non-D personnel during transfer leading to medical costs, compensation, legal exposure and temporary operational escalation.

Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 6 [#13] Six level-2 guards (2 per shift × 3 shifts + relief) covered by security staffing line ($300k/yr, #13).
Medical Officer 1 [#9] One supervising physician (anesthesiology/ENT experience) included in medical staffing ($150k of item #9).
Medical Technician / Nurse 2 [#9] Two medical technicians/nurses supporting transfers (item #9, ~$70k each).
Technician / Donor Supervisor 2 [#5] Two technicians supervising donor operations and induction (item #5, part of $160k donor operations).
📋 Confidence Notes
Medium confidence: many line items are well-scoped (capital, staff salaries, per-transfer consumables) but a major driver (host-replacement interval T) is highly uncertain, and the need for human-derived slurry vs. synthetic alternative materially changes recurring costs.
