⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $2.5M/yr
94.0% probability / year
Normal year with steady-state operations, no containment incidents beyond routine testing.
steady-state research schedule no breaches or large-scale incidents
🚨 Minor Incident $2.8M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$250K vs baseline
Localized containment incident requiring overtime, targeted remediation, accelerated tests and temporary additional D-class usage.
small breach / accidental transfer extra decontamination and overtime accelerated small-scale R&D
🚨 Major Breach $4.3M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$1.8M vs baseline
Significant containment failure or public exposure requiring large-scale remediation, replacement staff/equipment, legal/PR response and rapid scale-up.
uncontrolled propagation public exposure / multi-site spread large-scale emergency response
👥 Personnel 19 total
Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 12 [#4] Twelve guards for 3-shift coverage as specified in analyst notes (base security staffing).
Security Supervisor / Rapid-Response 3 [#4] Supervisor(s) and specialized rapid-response team included in additional security wage line-item.
Medical Officer 4 [#5] One physician, one psychiatrist, and two nurses as the dedicated medical/psychiatric team.
📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are derived from analyst-provided ranges and middling assumptions; memetic uncertainties, scale-up nonlinearities and contingency policies introduce moderate uncertainty.
