Estimated one-time startup costs are approximately $4.90M driven primarily by playground resurfacing, public-playground remediation, lab fit-out, vehicles, and contingency reserves. Recurring annual operations are approximately $3.03M driven mostly by staff wages (field agents, research staff, medical/analysts), legal/cover operations, and research/monitoring infrastructure.

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $3.0M/yr
75.0% probability / year
Normal operational year with regular monitoring, occasional interventions, and no major multi-site incidents.
routine school-term incidents isolated single-school games detected
🚨 Minor Incident $3.3M/yr
20.0% probability / year +$250K vs baseline
Localized multi-child incident at one or two schools requiring surge response, extra amnestics, temporary staffing, and modest compensation/legal work.
clustered outbreaks at 1–2 schools increased amnestic usage and overtime
🚨 Major Breach $4.0M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$1.0M vs baseline
Multi-site outbreak affecting several schools requiring large-scale surge operations, major amnestic operations, public compensation, legal settlements, and emergency remediation.
viral online spread or multiple simultaneous games discovery by parents/media leading to compensation claims
👥 Personnel 16 total
Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 6 [#1] Six full-time field agents covering shifts and on-call duties for the 20 km radius.
Administrative Staff / Supervisor 2 [#2] Two supervisors/case managers for coordination with schools, legal, and ops.
Medical Officer / Med-Tech 2 [#3] Two med-techs/nurses for amnestic preparation/administration and adverse-reaction care.
Video Analyst / Monitoring Specialist 2 [#8] Two full-time analysts to monitor feeds or oversee automated detection systems.
Research Scientist / Lab Tech 4 [#16, #17] Three researchers (psychologist/memeticist/etc.) plus one lab technician for anomalous behavior study and countermeasure development.
📋 Confidence Notes
Line-item estimates are drawn directly from analyst ranges but many items use midpoints and contingency assumptions; playground remediation and incident frequency are uncertain, so overall confidence is medium.
