⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $1.4M/yr
94.5% probability / year
Normal year with no major incidents; regular containment operations, scheduled research, maintenance and staffing costs.
routine operations scheduled research no breach events
🚨 Minor Incident $1.5M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$100K vs baseline
Small containment incident or limited exposure requiring targeted amnestics, repairs, incident investigation and limited legal/cover action.
single-person exposure limited equipment damage targeted amnestic use
🚨 Major Breach $2.1M/yr
0.5% probability / year +$750K vs baseline
Significant breach with multiple staff affected, requiring major medical intervention, reconstructive/psychiatric treatment, large amnestic operations, legal settlements and large contingency draw-down.
multi-person exposure staff impersonation or identity loss large-scale legal/medical response
👥 Personnel 10 total
Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 6 [#11] 24/7 coverage: 2guards/shift × 3 shifts = 6 guards.
Research Scientist 2 [#12] Behavioral researcher/psychologist staff (1–2 FTE; budgeted as 2).
Medical Officer 1 [#13] On-call medic/nurse and access to emergency trauma team.
Engineer / Maintenance 1 [#14] Containment maintenance & engineering support (0.5–1 FTE; budgeted as 1 FTE).
📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide ranges and many clearly mapped line items, enabling midpoint estimates; however incident frequency, reserve usage and future R&D scope are uncertain, so some quantities use assumptions and mid-range choices.
