One-time setup
$1.1M
Annual recurring
$1.1M
Personnel

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $1.1M/yr
89.0% probability / year
Normal year with routine operations and no major incidents.
routine_feeding_and_maintenance no_breaches scheduled_inspections
🚨 Minor Incident $1.1M/yr
8.0% probability / year +$50K vs baseline
Localized equipment failure or small acid spill requiring repair, short remediation and limited amnestic use.

🚨 Major Breach $1.5M/yr
1.5% probability / year +$400K vs baseline
Containment failure with civilian exposure, large-scale cleanup, legal action and multiple amnestic administrations.

Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 8 [#3] Eight full-time guards to staff two posts 24/7 (three shifts + relief).
Research Scientist 1 [#14] One senior researcher for study and oversight.
Research Technician 1 [#14] One technical support staff for sampling and routine lab work.
📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are based on detailed analyst notes but rely on ranges for equipment/labor, uncertain incident frequency, and unknown long-term corrosion rates of the anomalous material; therefore medium confidence.
