🚨 Major Breach $3.4M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$1.5M vs baseline

Role Count Notes
Containment Technician / Lab Tech 5 [#13] 24/7 monitoring rotation and weekly feeding staff; headcount derived from recurring lab technician budget allocation.
Research Scientist 2 [#14] Specialized neurobiology / project lead positions covered by recurring research staff budget.
Security Officer / MTF Agent 6 [#15] On-site security coverage (multiple guards per shift) reflected in recurring security budget.
📋 Confidence Notes
Core containment requirements are straightforward and well-described (tank, feedings, PPE), but many cost ranges (research escalation, contingency, staffing/scope) are broad and dependent on policy choices, so estimates are medium confidence.
