🚨 Major Breach $2.3M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$1.0M vs baseline

Role Count Notes
Research Scientist 1 [#6] Senior researcher (full-time) responsible for test design and oversight.
Research Technician 1 [#6] Technician (full-time) for test execution, item conditioning and logistics.
Security Officer / MTF Agent 4 [#7, #8] On-site security for searches and test-day presence plus rapid-response/on-call agents (3–4 agents represented within this count).
📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates use midpoints of analyst ranges and map each numbered line item to budget categories; recurring cost uncertainty is significant due to variable incident frequency and wide ranges for cover-up/legal spending.
