One-time setup
$2.8M
Annual recurring
$4.2M
Personnel
13
Estimated one-time setup costs are approximately $2,786,000 driven by specialized HACC construction, robotics/sensor suites, and initial R&D/legal/setup; recurring annual costs are approximately $4,236,100 driven primarily by staffing, remediation reserves, and long-term custody funding.

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $4.2M/yr
87.5% probability / year
Normal year with no major incidents; routine operations, staffing, maintenance, and planned R&D draw.
no unusual materialization events regular maintenance and R&D only
🚨 Minor Incident $4.4M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$200K vs baseline
Localized incident where materializations cause damage requiring repairs/replacement beyond routine turnover (panel replacement, targeted legal payouts, overtime).
object materializes inside structural element small civilian property loss requiring quiet reimbursement
🚨 Major Incident $5.2M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$1.0M vs baseline
Significant containment event or repeated materializations causing major property damage, extended legal settlements, or substantial facility upgrades.
multiple materializations into inhabited structures extended legal exposure or multiple civilian claims
🚨 Catastrophic Breach $10.2M/yr
0.5% probability / year +$6.0M vs baseline
Widespread exposure or high-value object displacement from critical infrastructure causing major public incident, heavy litigation, and emergency large-scale remediation.
removal of high-value critical infrastructure objects public/political exposure or mass property loss
👥 Personnel 13 total
Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 5 [#12] 24/7 guard complement (4–6) used as a 5-person working estimate to cover shifts and supervision.
Engineer / Maintenance 2 [#13] Containment engineers/technicians (1–3 FTE) for CSS audits, robotics and panel replacement.
Research Scientist 3 [#14] Research & test team (2–4 FTE) for experiments, data analysis, and monitoring.
Medical Officer / Child Welfare Staff 3 [#15] Pediatrician, child psychologist, and in-cell therapeutic/education staff (combined estimate).
📋 Confidence Notes
Line-item ranges and containment requirements are well-documented in analyst notes, but incident frequency and the size of contingent reserves (items #19, #26, #27) are highly variable; midpoint estimates were used where ranges existed.
