🚨 Major Breach $5.2M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$1.2M vs baseline
Significant breach with multiple disappearances, extended MTF deployment, equipment replacement and large legal/compensation costs.

🚨 Catastrophic Breach $7.5M/yr
0.1% probability / year +$3.5M vs baseline

Role Count Notes
Security Officer 15 [#6] 24/7 coverage: three shifts with ~4–6 guards per shift; headcount reflects rotation and overlap.
Research Scientist 4 [#7] Research staff (psychology, anomalistics, structural) for ongoing study and experiments.
Containment Technician 2 [#7] Technicians who support containment protocols and remote operations.
Site Director / Executive Staff 1 [#7] Senior on-site management and coordination.
Health Officer 1 [#7] On-site health officer included in containment/research staffing for immediate medical response and oversight.

📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates derive from analyst ranges with many variable factors (site location, legal environment, frequency of civilian contact). Staffing and contingency choices dominate uncertainty; reasonable midpoints were used but one-time contingencies and incident probabilities are highly scenario-dependent.
