Cost Scenarios
📊
Baseline
(baseline)
$2.8M/yr
Normal year with no major incidents; routine operations, contained research, regular maintenance and contingencies not tapped beyond planned replenishment.
no incidents
scheduled research activity
routine maintenance
🚨
Minor Incident
$3.0M/yr
Small containment/operational incident requiring repairs, limited amnestic deployment, overtime and modest equipment replacement.
localized containment breach
equipment failure
limited public exposure
🚨
Major Breach
$4.0M/yr
Significant breach or prolonged exposure requiring major containment overhaul, extended investigations, extensive cover-up and temporary relocation.
containment failure
public exposure requiring large-scale amnestics/PR
multiple-system failure
🚨
Permanent Wearer Case
$5.3M/yr
One or more individuals rendered permanently unnoticeable, triggering lifelong care obligations, intensive reversal research escalation and legal/cover costs.
prolonged cumulative wearing
failure to detect long-term effects
permanent unnoticeability case

| D-Class Personnel | 1 | [@#11] Dedicated D-Class subject for controlled testing as per containment/testing policy. |
Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line items and ranges, enabling a mid-confidence estimate; however large uncertainties remain around probability of permanent-effect cases, number of D-Class required, and long-term research scale, so figures use mid-range assumptions and explicit buffers.
