Meta Ike Proposal

Expected annual

$396.0M

One-time setup

$3.4B

Annual recurring

$386.5M

Personnel

305

One-time establishment costs are dominated by hardened facility construction and large contingency/reserve funds (totaling several billion USD); recurring annual costs (~$386.5M/yr) are driven by personnel, reactor operations, contingency reserves, and a large operational risk premium.

⚡ Cost Scenarios

📊 Baseline (baseline) $386.5M/yr

90.5% probability / year

Normal operational year with routine maintenance, research, personnel costs and reserves; no major anomalous incidents.

🚨 Minor Incident $411.5M/yr

8.0% probability / year +$25.0M vs baseline

Localized anomalous event (partial SRA destruction / small collapse) requiring targeted replacement, medical treatment, and MTF surge.

🚨 Major Breach $636.5M/yr

1.0% probability / year +$250.0M vs baseline

Significant containment failure or reactor misprogramming causing large facility damage, mass medical events, and large-scale repairs and amnestic operations.

🚨 Catastrophic Breach $1.4B/yr

0.5% probability / year +$1.0B vs baseline

Global-scale reality restructuring / ZK-Class event prompting use of existential reserves, national-scale amnestics, and emergency global mitigation projects.

📋 Confidence Notes

Estimates are low-confidence due to extreme variance from anomalous/paraphysical items, open-ended contingency choices, and scenario-dependent event costs; many line items (SRAs, paratech, large-scale amnestic campaigns, existential funds) are inherently unbounded and subject to policy decisions.
