Initial setup costs are moderate-to-high (about $2.53M one-time) driven by containment locker construction, secure equipment, and large contingency reserves; recurrent annual operating costs are substantial (~$2.72M/yr) dominated by specialized personnel, legal/media suppression, and secure R&D/monitoring.

Confidence Notes
Mid-level confidence: analyst notes provide detailed line items and ranges but many items have wide ranges and uncertain frequencies (e.g., incident surge, reserve sizing, R&D scope), so cost magnitudes are reasonable estimates but not precise.
