Estimated one-time startup/reserve costs are high (~$56.6M) driven by R&D infrastructure, contingency reserves, and lab/R&D buildout; recurring costs are dominated by regional rapid-response field teams, legal/cover operations, and ongoing R&D/monitoring, producing an expected annual cost of roughly $28.9M.

Cost Scenarios
📊
Baseline
(baseline)
$27.1M/yr
Automated intake, regional preparedness at baseline levels; no major incidents requiring large-scale international response or R&D surge.
automated BUG REPORTS active
routine small/local incidents
no large urban or crop-scale events
🚨
Minor Incident
$28.6M/yr
A year with several localized urban incidents requiring multiple regional deployments, higher pest-control and disposal costs, and elevated public communications.
clustered urban incidents
local crop damage
increased remediation contracts
🚨
Major Incident
$37.1M/yr
Large municipal or multi-hub event requiring full regional mobilization, emergency compensation, significant legal/diplomatic activity, and temporary scale-up of R&D/testing.
major city-wide manifestation
large agricultural loss in one or more regions
escalated public/political attention
🚨
Catastrophic Event
$127.1M/yr
Widespread multi-country agricultural and urban outbreaks causing mass economic damage, international diplomatic crisis, and full-scale R&D/containment surge.
multi-region crop collapse
simultaneous major urban outbreaks
international political exposure

Confidence Notes
Estimates are broad and uncertain due to unknown frequency/severity of manifestations, speculative memetic R&D costs, and large variance in legal/agricultural liabilities; many line items are scenario-dependent and could be orders of magnitude different.
