Initial capital expenditures are dominated by purchase/retrofit of the country-club cover, vault/construction work, and large contingency reserves (total one-time ~ $31.1M). Annual operations (security, research staff, maintenance, robotics/vehicles, intelligence and contingencies) are estimated at roughly $10.54M/yr, with robotics/MTF response and contingency replenishment the largest recurring drivers.

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $10.5M/yr
64.0% probability / year
Normal year without major containment incidents; routine operations, staff rotations, research, and scheduled maintenance only.

🚨 Minor Incident $10.7M/yr
30.0% probability / year +$200K vs baseline
Localized breach or recovery operation: small number of civilians encountered, amnestic administrations, minor equipment damage, limited EOD activity.
small perimeter breach civilian witness events single small EOD/disposal
🚨 Major Breach $13.5M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$3.0M vs baseline
Significant containment breach with equipment loss/damage, recovery of hazardous anomalous items, major custom containment required and multi-team MTF/EOD response.

📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are order-of-magnitude professional judgments based on analyst notes and typical procurement/staffing costs. Uncertainty remains due to unknown number/type of anomalous sub-instances, the activity level of the Brazen Heart, and potential scale of bespoke containment or termination operations.
