⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $1.5M/yr
80.0% probability / year
Normal uneventful year with routine operations, monitoring and research at planned staffing levels.
no incidents routine research activity standard maintenance
🚨 Minor Incident $1.5M/yr
15.0% probability / year +$75K vs baseline
Localized containment incident requiring repairs, increased medical response and overtime.
small structural failure single serious medical incident equipment malfunction
🚨 Major Breach $2.7M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$1.2M vs baseline
Significant containment breach or public exposure requiring emergency relocation, legal settlements and major repairs.
public exposure large-scale structural failure major legal/PR actions
🚨 Research Breakthrough Requiring Scale Up $2.0M/yr
3.0% probability / year +$500K vs baseline
Successful research leads to decision to scale up R&D and deploy large robotics/repair program.
new actionable data management approval for large-scale R&D deployment of robotics/repair teams

Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 6 [#11] 24/7 security coverage (six staff across three shifts), salaries/benefits included in staff_wages.
Research Scientist / Observer 4 [#12] On-site observers and research staff (rotating team), salaries/benefits included in staff_wages.
📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line-item ranges allowing a reasonable mid-range estimate, but significant uncertainties remain (local property values, optional robotics program, and unpredictable breach/legal costs), so confidence is medium.
