⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $945K/yr
85.0% probability / year
Normal year with no accidental sleep events and routine operations only.
no accidental sleep events routine monitoring and maintenance
🚨 Minor Incident $975K/yr
12.0% probability / year +$30K vs baseline
Single accidental sleep event producing one or a few additional instances requiring emergency sedation, short-term medical care and temporary containment.
accidental access/sleep in bed single manifestation event temporary additional medical/containment supplies
🚨 Major Incident $1.9M/yr
3.0% probability / year +$1.0M vs baseline
Multiple accidental sleep events or sustained failures producing many coexistent instances requiring mass sedation, expanded holding, sustained medical care and increased staffing.
repeated SOP failures mass manifestation extended emergency containment
👥 Personnel 12 total
Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 8 [#12] 24/7 on-site security presence (8 guards to cover shifts + relief).
Research Scientist 1 [#13] Principal investigator (part-time) responsible for oversight of testing and protocols.
Research Technician 2 [#13] Research technicians for assays, observation and lab support.
Medical Officer 1 [#10] Medical/nursing support for comatose humanoid (0.2 FTE equivalent captured in recurring medical/staffing costs).
📋 Confidence Notes
Cost line items for construction, equipment and recurring staffing are well-defined; however probabilities for manifestation incidents and long-tail costs from multiple persistent instances are highly uncertain, producing moderate confidence overall.
