⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $1.8M/yr
92.0% probability / year
Normal year with assumed 10 recoveries and no major incidents or capital purchases; operations funded at baseline recurring levels.

🚨 Purchase Imaging Suite $2.6M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$840K vs baseline
Foundation elects to purchase the high-resolution imaging suite within the year (capital expenditure) and commences maintenance.

🚨 Major Public Exposure $4.3M/yr
3.0% probability / year +$2.5M vs baseline
Significant containment failure or public leak requiring mass response, large-scale amnestic administration, legal actions, and emergency operations.

Role Count Notes
Embedded liaison / Undercover Agent 4 [#1] Four embedded Foundation agents in NYPD/Port Authority (payroll included in staff_wages).
Data Analyst / Linguist / Cryptographer 2 [#10] Two FTE analysts for transcription and pattern analysis (included in staff_wages).
Security Officer / MTF Agent 10 [#15] On-site security staffing to cover 24/7 shifts (approx. 10 guards; staffing cost included in staff_wages).
📋 Confidence Notes
Medium confidence: many per-incident costs are well-estimated, and staffing costs are concrete, but key uncertainties remain around actual incident frequency (assumed 10/yr), whether Site 40 already has micro-imaging capability, and the likelihood/scale of emergency/public-exposure events.
