🚨 Minor Incident $663K/yr
5.0% probability / year +$15K vs baseline
Localized incident or brief containment stress requiring overtime, extra cleaning, and temporary waste handling increases.
temporary distress resulting in shedding overtime security/cleaning short-term increased waste pickup
🚨 Mass Deterioration Event $708K/yr
2.0% probability / year +$60K vs baseline
Significant rapid deterioration/mass shedding event leading to deep cleaning, wing shutdown, major pest control and legal/containment expenses.

Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 6 [#4] Two guards per shift × three shifts = 6 full-time guards required for 24/7 coverage.

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide many line-item ranges enabling midpoint estimates, but several items (staffing arrangements, local wage variations, and incident frequencies) are uncertain; therefore confidence is medium.
