One-time setup and contingency costs are moderate (~$451k) driven by containment room construction, specialized equipment, and a contingency/reserve fund; recurring annual costs (~$574k/year) are dominated by staff wages (security, therapist, medical) and an active research/program budget.

no containment incidents routine research schedule normal staffing and maintenance
🚨 Minor Incident $599K/yr
20.0% probability / year +$25K vs baseline
Localized panic/rage episodes or short-term containment incidents requiring overtime, medical treatment, minor equipment replacement and extra security/therapist time.
panic attack requiring extra medics minor injuries to staff or subject temporary device replacements
🚨 Major Breach $774K/yr
5.0% probability / year +$200K vs baseline
Significant containment breach, forced termination or rapid loss/degradation of subject requiring emergency imaging, accelerated research, legal response and facility actions.

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line items and ranges but many estimates are broad and policy-dependent (e.g., amnestics, termination policy, cover operations). Reasonable mid-point assumptions were used where ranges exist, yielding medium confidence.
