⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $720K/yr
90.0% probability / year
Normal year with routine operations and no major incidents.
routine maintenance scheduled testing no glove failures
🚨 Minor Incident $740K/yr
6.0% probability / year +$20K vs baseline
Small accidental exposure or glove failure requiring localized cleanup and medical consultation.
glove failure limited contamination minor medical treatment
🚨 Major Incident $870K/yr
3.0% probability / year +$150K vs baseline
Accidental transformation of a human or large-scale exposure triggering forensic, mortuary, heavy transport and major legal/PR costs.
casualty/large transformation crime-scene containment heavy-lift transport
🚨 Research Scale Up $920K/yr
1.0% probability / year +$200K vs baseline
Deliberate ramp-up in experimental use requiring expanded testing, staffing and consumables.
intensive testing campaign robotic/instrument upgrades increased sample throughput
👥 Personnel 6.4 total
Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 6 [#10] Two guards per shift, three shifts = 6 FTEs (included in security staffing cost).
Medical Officer 0.2 [#11] Part-time on-call medical support allocation (~0.1–0.2 FTE reflected in cost).
