⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $2.8M/yr
74.0% probability / year
Normal year with routine testing and no major incidents; recurring operational costs only.
routine_Type_A_tests scheduled_research no MTF mobilization
🚨 Minor Incident $2.8M/yr
20.0% probability / year +$25K vs baseline
A limited Type B or small containment incident requiring overtime, forensic work, and localized cover-up.
small Type B event local media attention short MTF tasking / overtime
🚨 Major Mtf Deployment $3.3M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$450K vs baseline
Major Type B event requiring full MTF deployment and substantial remediation/cover-up.
Type B with external effects full MTF Psi-13 mobilization extended remediation and cover-up
🚨 Catastrophic Breach $4.8M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$2.0M vs baseline
Large-scale Type B event or containment failure causing major damage, public exposure, and prolonged response.
widespread Type B manipulation public exposure / mass casualties facility damage requiring relocation

Role Count Notes
Security Officer / Guard 6 [#4, #5, #6] Two armed guards on-site 24/7 with rotations/vacation coverage; staffing pool estimated at 6 FTEs (wages included in staff_wages).
Research Scientist 4 [#7, #8, #21] Lead researcher, research assistant, and 1–2 rotating research staff / bench support (salaries included in staff_wages).
Medical Officer 1 [#17] On-site medic / contracted medical readiness (budgeted in staff_wages).
📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are order-of-magnitude and sensitive to frequency/severity of unpredictable Type B events. MTF readiness and contingency choices (dedicated vehicles, frequency of testing) produce large variance; anomaly behavior is not fully characterized, lowering confidence.
