Estimated one-time capital costs roughly $6.35M for site acquisition, organic containment cell construction, specialized dream-entry kit and contingency reserves; recurring annual costs ~ $10.01M driven primarily by 24/7 wake-watch staffing and MTF dream-ops, plus research and diplomatic/legal support.

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $10.0M/yr
83.0% probability / year
Normal year with ongoing containment operations, scheduled research, weekly/periodic dream runs and no major REM-trigger containment failures.
no REM-trigger breaches routine MTF operations scheduled research and maintenance
🚨 Minor Incident $11.0M/yr
15.0% probability / year +$1.0M vs baseline
Single REM slip or limited unauthorized dream penetration causing localized conversion that is quickly contained; requires overtime, temporary remediation and extra medical care.
brief REM-trigger/subject lapse small area conversion overtime for containment and remediation
🚨 Major Breach $18.0M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$8.0M vs baseline
Significant failure to prevent REM-trigger or large-scale dream incursion leading to extended inorganic-to-brine conversion, major remediation, diplomatic/legal crisis and replacement/rebuild costs.
prolonged uncontrolled REM sleep expansion of conversion beyond site international exposure/legal action
👥 Personnel 34 total

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line items and ranges for most cost drivers (staffing, tech, remediation). Uncertainty remains due to anomalous behavior unpredictability (conversion extent, breach frequency) and contingency sizing, so confidence is medium.
