Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $2.6M/yr
88.0% probability / year
Normal year with no major public incidents; ongoing containment, monitoring, maintenance, and routine research continue.
no breach normal ops and maintenance
🚨 Minor Incident $2.8M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$200K vs baseline
Localized trespass or small exposure requiring medevac, overtime response, limited legal payouts, and additional PR activity.
armed trespasser limited media attention small lawsuit or settlement
🚨 Major Breach $3.8M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$1.2M vs baseline
Significant public exposure or legal crisis requiring broad PR campaign, large settlements, extended cyber ops, and emergency research/containment scaling.
widely publicized containment failure major lawsuit or criminal inquiry political exposure requiring asset-scale response
👥 Personnel 9 total
Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 4 Local hires/contract guards providing 24/7 perimeter coverage (see #[6]).
Field Operatives / MTF 3 Trained response team for containment, med triage, and evidence collection (see #[7]).
Medical Officer / EMT 1 On-site medic for immediate treatment and stabilization (see #[8]).
Psychologist (consultant, 0.5 FTE) 1 Part-time clinical psychologist for trauma assessment and pre-amnestic evaluation (see #[8]).
📋 Confidence Notes
Many line items have wide published ranges and optional pathways (purchase vs lease, one-time vs reserve), and cyber/PR/legal costs are highly scenario-dependent; personnel and core equipment costs are better defined, so overall confidence is medium.
