[#29] Ongoing monitoring and limited mitigation of historical records and references.
Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $2.7M/yr
80.0% probability / year
Normal year with no major incidents: steady containment operations, monthly sweeps, research, and ongoing cover/liaison work.
no escapes routine captures only stable community relations
🚨 Minor Incident $2.9M/yr
15.0% probability / year +$250K vs baseline
Limited escape or small-scale field confrontation requiring additional capture ops, overtime, legal response and public mitigation.
single-instance escape local leak requiring coverup targeted capture operation
🚨 Major Breach $4.2M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$1.5M vs baseline
Significant breach, multiple escapes or large-scale public exposure requiring mass-capture ops, large legal action, and major replenishment of reserves.
mass escape extensive media exposure large-scale capture operations
👥 Personnel 11 total
Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 6 [#4] 24/7 rotation coverage for containment wing (6 full-time guards as per analyst notes).
Research Scientist 2 [#6] Behavioral scientists / anthropologists / cultural liaisons (1–2 FTEs; midpoint used).
Medical Officer / Veterinarian 2 [#5] On-call medic/nurse and veterinarian support (combined ~1.5 FTEs; rounded to 2).
Intelligence / Data Analyst 1 [#25] Data management and archival/intelligence analysis staff (1–2 analysts; one analyst counted here).
📋 Confidence Notes
Several line items have well-defined midpoints (personnel, vehicles, surveillance) but many costs are range-based and depend on site selection, frequency of incidents, and political/diplomatic variables; contingency and cover-story costs are the biggest uncertain drivers.
