One-time setup
$3.1M
Annual recurring
$1.9M
Personnel
10
One-time setup and heavy equipment (robotics, non-visual monitoring, air-gapped backups, research build-out) drive upfront costs; recurring personnel (24/7 coverage), medical/amnestic replenishment and admin overhead dominate annual expenses.

🚨 Major Breach $3.4M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$1.5M vs baseline
Widespread/public exposure or complex multi-site corruption requiring mass remediation, legal settlements, large-scale amnestic campaigns and external contractors.

Role Count Notes
Containment Technician 4 [#5] 24/7 coverage; operators for robotic systems (4 positions as per staffing assumption).
Security Officer / MTF Agent 4 [#5] On-site security coverage (3-4 assumed; 4 used for planning).
Senior Researcher (0.5 FTE) 1 [#5] Senior researcher/overseer at 0.5 FTE included in base payroll figure.
Medical Officer / Nurse 1 [#7] On-call medical/amnestic administration staffing (0.5–1.0 FTE; 1 headcount used for planning).
📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates follow analyst-provided ranges and midpoints; many line items are site-dependent (existing infrastructure, local labor, vendor quotes) and contingent on incident frequency, so uncertainty is moderate.
