⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $9.4M/yr
93.0% probability / year
Normal uneventful year with standard operations and no containment incidents; independent guarded posts as implemented in baseline staffing.

🚨 Minor Incident $9.7M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$300K vs baseline
Localized activation or incident requiring medical treatment, limited repairs, legal response and temporary staffing increases.

🚨 Major Breach $13.4M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$4.0M vs baseline
Significant containment breach or public exposure requiring large-scale remediation, extended response team deployment, litigation and cover-up expenses.

Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 72 [#7] Twelve assigned guards per post × 6 posts = 72 (to provide 3 on-post 24/7 coverage with leave/backfill).
Remote Operator 9 [#12] Central remote/drone operator team (3 shifts × 3 operators = 9 FTE).
Research Scientist 3 [#15] Dedicated research team (3 FTE).
Technician / Maintenance 4 [#16] HVAC/electrical/robotics technicians (4 FTE shared).
📋 Confidence Notes
Detailed line-item estimates exist for most categories (construction, salaries, robotics), but key drivers (security posture, frequency of incidents, required redundancy) are policy-dependent and can swing costs widely; contingency and scenario probabilities are approximate.
