⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $3.1M/yr
88.0% probability / year
Normal year with no major incidents; routine operations, monthly disposal, and regular maintenance.
steady_generation_rate routine_monthly_disposal no breaches or contamination spikes
🚨 Minor Incident $3.4M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$300K vs baseline
Localized incident (e.g., discovery of hazardous materials in refuse, limited contamination, small breach requiring response and extra disposal).
hazardous waste discovered limited contamination requiring emergency disposal medical exposures among small number of staff
🚨 Major Breach $5.6M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$2.5M vs baseline
Significant containment failure or rapid, sustained spike in generation/compositional hazard requiring large-scale disposal, site remediation, extended medical/legal response and temporary relocation.

Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 15 [#4] Four-person on-site team present 24/7; staffing pool of ~12–16 to cover rotations — analyst used 15 guards for budgeting.
Research Scientist / Containment Technician 4 [#5] Resident containment techs (2–3), one site supervisor, and one assigned researcher/behavioral specialist (total 4).
📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line items and reasonable mid-range selections, but many estimates are order-of-magnitude ranges (disposal rates by locality, choice of in-house vs contracted services, and anomalous behavior variability). Uncertainty in future compositional changes of refuse and local disposal pricing reduces confidence.
