⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $1.1M/yr
87.5% probability / year
Normal year with no major incidents; routine containment, monitoring, waste disposal, research, and training.
routine operations daily draining and disposal scheduled maintenance and testing
🚨 Minor Incident $1.2M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$60K vs baseline
Localized spill or small exposure event requiring medical treatment, decontamination, replacement of consumables, and limited investigation.
small spill single-person exposure minor containment breach
🚨 Major Breach $1.6M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$500K vs baseline
Significant containment breach or accidental distribution causing multiple hospitalizations, large-scale decontamination, legal/PR response, and extended investigations.
multiple exposures public discovery requiring PR/legal action major decontamination
🚨 Catastrophic Breach $6.1M/yr
0.5% probability / year +$5.0M vs baseline
Widespread exposure or public-health level incident requiring large-scale emergency response, prolonged litigation, and major recovery operations.

Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 8 [#6] Continuous guarded post; 8 full-time guard personnel assigned (salary+benefits included in staff_wages).
Hazmat Technician / Medical Technician 2 [#7] 2 personnel on partial assignment (combined ~0.5–1.0 FTE as budgeted).
Research Scientist 2 [#8] Research staff (1.5–3.0 FTE total budgeted; represented as ~2 headcount here, salaries + lab overhead included).
EEG Technician 1 [#5] Technician time (~0.2 FTE) for EEG monitoring during removals; represented as one assigned technician (part-time duties).
📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are based on detailed analyst line items and typical site costs, but ranges are wide for optional capital (incinerator), contingency reserves, and staff compensation variations; adversarial/breach scenarios are highly uncertain.
