One-time setup
$766K
Annual recurring
$842K
Personnel
10
Initial one-time setup is estimated at about $766,000 driven by cell hardening, equipment, and an initial contingency reserve; ongoing annual costs are about $842,000 driven primarily by staffing (security, medical, containment techs) and sustained research/monitoring.

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $842K/yr
89.0% probability / year
Uneventful year with normal operations, testing within controlled limits, and no containment incidents.
routine testing no accidental device exposure no public leaks
🚨 Minor Incident $917K/yr
10.0% probability / year +$75K vs baseline
A limited containment incident (e.g., accidental device brought within 12m, one or two staff affected) requiring medical response, replacements, overtime, and limited amnestic use.
unauthorized device inside exclusion zone single/staff limited incapacitation localized equipment damage
🚨 Major Breach $1.8M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$1.0M vs baseline
Significant breach or public exposure (multiple staff incapacitated, contamination of multiple devices, or public leak) requiring large-scale emergency response, relocation, widespread amnestic operations, and heavy legal/PR action.
multiple-staff incapacitation spread to consumer devices outside containment public leak requiring large-scale amnestics

Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 4 4 guards for 24/7 coverage (12-hour shifts). Budgeted ~$200,000/yr total (incl. benefits & overtime). [#10]
Containment Specialist / Technician 2 Equivalent to ~1.5 FTE trained in anomalous electrical interfacing and containment procedures; budgeted ~$90,000/yr. [#11]
Medical Officer / EMT / Nurse (on-call) 1 Part-time/contract medical coverage for tests and emergencies; budgeted ~$75,000/yr. [#9]
Research Analyst / Technician 1 0.5 FTE analyst for footage/log review and reporting (budgeted ~$30,000/yr) plus support from research staff budget. [#19]
Psychologist / Clinical Staff 2 Senior (0.1 FTE) and junior (0.2 FTE) psychologist time for weekly evaluations and oversight; combined budget ~$30,000/yr. [#12]
📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide itemized ranges for most cost items and clear operational requirements (cell hardening, power interfaces, staffing, and research), so estimates are reasonably grounded; uncertainty remains around the anomalous object's replacement/sporadic behavior, incident frequency, and true scale of PR/legal/amnestic response, hence medium confidence.
