Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $7.4M/yr
94.0% probability / year
Normal, uneventful year with routine operations and no major containment incidents.
no breach routine maintenance scheduled research
🚨 Minor Incident $7.9M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$500K vs baseline
Localized containment breach or equipment-sabotage event requiring QRF activation, overtime, repairs and limited legal/medical costs.
localized breach sensor destruction small casualties / repairs
🚨 Major Breach $11.9M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$4.5M vs baseline
Significant containment failure requiring large-scale mobilization, use of contingency funds, legal payouts, major repairs and possible temporary relocation.
large-scale breach multiple casualties political exposure / infrastructure loss
👥 Personnel 56 total
Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 30 [#4] 24/7 perimeter and access control guards (20–40 estimated; midpoint used).
Quick Reaction Force / Tactical Response Team 16 [#5, #6] Dedicated tactical responders (12–20 personnel; includes recurring training costs).
Research Scientist / Level-4 Personnel 4 [#13] Senior containment/scientific staff with Level-4 clearance (3–6 estimated).
Engineer / Technician (IT & systems) 6 [#14, #7, #19] Technical support, surveillance/sensor operators and IT staff (4–8 estimated).
📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line-item ranges and clear drivers, enabling middling accuracy; however, anomalous behavior, incident frequency uncertainty, and location-dependent capital costs introduce material variance, so confidence is medium.
