Estimated one-time capital costs are dominated by contingency and potential dedicated facility construction (~$107.8M one-time). Recurring baseline operations (perimeter staff, monitoring, and MTF readiness) run roughly $2.276M per year, with staff wages and MTF readiness as the largest ongoing drivers.

Cost Scenarios
📊
Baseline
(baseline)
$2.3M/yr
Normal year with passive containment: perimeter staffing, monitoring, maintenance, and readiness but no major incidents or excavation.
no breaches
routine equipment attrition
steady-state monitoring
🚨
Minor Incident
$2.6M/yr
Localized incident or trespass that requires significant emergency response, equipment replacement, legal/amnestics deployment and short-term remediation.
civilian breach requiring amnestics
localized anomalous activity damaging sensors
small-scale contamination or equipment loss
🚨
Major Breach
$8.3M/yr
Significant containment breach or anomalous escalation requiring heavy engineering, extended MTF operations, and major equipment replacement.
entrance collapse/reopening
large-scale entity activity
widespread equipment failure
🚨
Containment Deployment
$107.3M/yr
Decision to construct and place anomalies into a dedicated containment facility (extreme escalation).
discovery of active contained entities
decision to excavate/open primary entrance
requirement for long-term active containment

Confidence Notes
Estimates are order-of-magnitude with high uncertainty due to anomalous behavior, equipment attrition rates, site geology, and the substantial optional contingencies (excavation or dedicated facility). Historical incident data and exploration ban make probability and cost precision low.
