⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $341K/yr
86.0% probability / year
Normal, uneventful year of operation with regular maintenance, research activity, and no major incidents or injuries.
routine operations scheduled maintenance no injuries or legal events
🚨 Minor Incident $363K/yr
12.0% probability / year +$22K vs baseline
A single minor exposure or equipment failure occurs leading to limited medical treatment and modest equipment replacement/repair.
single staff exposure causing minor hearing damage microphone/sensor damage from high-SPL event small emergency response/field operation
🚨 Major Injury $541K/yr
2.0% probability / year +$200K vs baseline
Serious hearing injuries or multiple affected staff with associated surgeries, long-term rehabilitation, legal defense or settlements and major equipment/facility repairs.
ruptured eardrums requiring surgery civil exposure claims / legal settlement multiple-personnel exposure and major equipment damage

Role Count Notes
Avian Handler 1 [#5] One full-time avian handler/keeper responsible for daily welfare, cleaning, and staged interactions.
Security Officer / MTF Agent 2 [#7] Minimum on-site overlap of two trained security personnel during handling; on-call coverage otherwise.
Research Scientist 1 [#13] 0.5–1.0 FTE behavioral researcher (mid-case used) for ongoing linguistics/cognition program; accounted for in research costs.
📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates use midpoints of ranges provided in analyst notes; containment hardware and liability outcomes have significant uncertainty (legal/medical event severity), so confidence is medium rather than high.
