⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $7.9M/yr
88.0% probability / year
Normal year with ongoing containment posture and no major incidents; steady-state operations and monitoring.
no breach routine monitoring scheduled maintenance
🚨 Minor Incident $8.7M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$800K vs baseline
Localized exposure or discovery requiring emergency remediation, small buyouts/settlements, overtime, and temporary surge in monitoring.
localized public discovery single-site breach small legal settlement
🚨 Major Breach $15.9M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$8.0M vs baseline
Large-scale public exposure or multiple simultaneous entrances discovered requiring mass buyouts, large legal costs, and rapid engineering remediation.
widespread media exposure multiple-entry discovery mass litigation or municipal involvement

Role Count Notes
Cover Operative (Live-in / Infiltration) 18 [#5] Live-in cover personnel assigned per-property to pose as residents; salaries included in staff_wages.

📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are based on analyst-provided ranges and a mid-scale containment posture (mix of purchases and covert coverage). Major uncertainty remains in the true number and rate of new entrances, and in whether the Foundation must scale to bulk property purchases — both factors could materially increase costs.
