⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $1.4M/yr
90.0% probability / year
Normal year with neutralized status maintained: routine monitoring, staffing, legal/cover-story upkeep, and reserve replenishment.
no anomalous detections periodic LOP reports only
🚨 Minor Incident $1.5M/yr
8.0% probability / year +$150K vs baseline
Localized re-emergence requiring rapid-response deployment, limited amnestic administration, additional medical care and short-term investigation.
thermal spike auditory reports by civilians sensor anomaly detection
🚨 Major Breach $4.4M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$3.0M vs baseline
Significant reactivation or public exposure requiring demolition/stabilization, large-scale containment engineering, litigation/settlements and major reconstruction.
full structural reactivation civilian casualty/litigation requirement for demolition/rebuild
👥 Personnel 15 total
Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 10 [#4] 24/7 active security staff (8–12 guards including supervisors) responsible for on-site containment and detainment.
Local Observation Post Observer 2 [#5] Reduced monitoring / LOP rotation: 1–2 observers to track re-emergence reports and local rumor intelligence.
Administrative Staff 2 [#25] Project manager, clerical and procurement staff to handle contracts, payroll, FOIA and cover-story paperwork.
Research Scientist 1 [#14, #7, #8] On-call researcher to coordinate periodic field campaigns, sensor calibration oversight and data review.
📋 Confidence Notes
Mid-range confidence: analyst notes provide line-item ranges and clear operational drivers (security, demolition, legal), but large uncertainties remain around settlement scale, need for full demolition/rebuild, and true reactivation probability.
