Initial capital costs are approximately $9.73M driven by property acquisition, perimeter hardening, and a $5M contingency reserve for scaling; annual operating costs are roughly $9.22M driven mainly by continuous MTF staffing and intelligence/monitoring.

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $9.2M/yr
87.0% probability / year
Normal year with no major incidents: ongoing staffing, monitoring, maintenance, and planned operations only.
no_incident routine_operations
🚨 Minor Incident $9.4M/yr
8.0% probability / year +$200K vs baseline
Small-scale security incident or medical evacuation requiring overtime, limited repairs, and modest PR/legal costs.

🚨 Major Breach $11.7M/yr
3.0% probability / year +$2.5M vs baseline
Significant breach or multi-site denial operation involving major repairs, extended covert ops, and replacement of assets.
GOC_engagement site_breach multi-day_denial_ops
🚨 Scaling Up $14.2M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$5.0M vs baseline
Discovery of multiple new ingress points or sustained GOI conflict forces rapid scale-up (new sites, dedicated observatory, expanded MTF deployments).

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line-item estimates for most categories (personnel, fencing, sensors), supporting a moderate confidence. Uncertainty remains around GOI actions, number of ingress points, and whether a dedicated radio dish will be commissioned; those factors could materially change capital and recurring needs.
