⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $2.2M/yr
89.0% probability / year
Normal year with ongoing containment, research, counseling and preparedness; no major public incidents or large-scale amnestic operations.
steady-state operations routine monitoring no breach or public exposure
🚨 Minor Incident $2.4M/yr
8.0% probability / year +$150K vs baseline
Localized incident (stalking discovered, small breach attempt or single-civilian exposure) requiring limited legal action, targeted amnesticization and repairs.
targeted stalking discovered small-scale property damage or assault limited amnestic/legal response
🚨 Major Breach $3.9M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$1.7M vs baseline
Violent breach or containment failure causing injury or death, major medical/legal costs, large repairs and significant investigations.
violent breach civilian casualties major legal/medical payouts
🚨 Public Exposure $5.9M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$3.7M vs baseline
High-visibility leak or mass obsession event requiring widescale amnesticization, major PR/legal campaign and heavy contingency fund usage.

Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 10 [#4] 24/7 dedicated security staffing (three shifts, overlap for breaks); estimate based on 8–12 personnel (10 used).
Containment Technician / Researcher 2 [#5] Full-time containment/technical staff (1–3 recommended; 2 used for baseline).
📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed ranges for many line items enabling a reasoned estimate, but significant uncertainty remains around incident frequency, size of required contingency spend, and ongoing R&D ambition—hence medium confidence.
