First-year capital and setup costs are dominated by facility construction, large contingency/reserve set-asides, and property acquisition; recurring yearly costs are driven by staff wages, MTF readiness, and ongoing research/monitoring. Initial one-time spend is approx. $31.92M with ongoing operating costs of roughly $7.395M/yr.

📋 Confidence Notes
Notes provide detailed itemized estimates for most line items, but the anomalous nature of SCP-9292 and wide uncertainty around breach probabilities, remediation complexity, and long-term research scale reduce certainty; hence medium confidence.
