⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $1.0M/yr
87.0% probability / year
Normal uneventful year with no major incidents; routine operations, maintenance, and staffing only.
no breaches no major equipment failures routine testing only
🚨 Minor Incident $1.2M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$150K vs baseline
Localized containment incident requiring repairs and overtime: broken observation glass or damaged projector/robotics, limited forensic processing.
window/projector/robotic damage small structural repair overtime and forensic costs
🚨 Major Breach $2.0M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$1.0M vs baseline
Significant breach or containment failure causing large structural repairs, equipment replacement, legal/settlement costs, and use of contingency reserves.
door/airlock catastrophic failure multiple equipment failures civilian exposure or large-scale damage
🚨 Political Exposure $1.5M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$500K vs baseline
Public exposure or significant PR/legal event requiring settlements, extended legal defense, and relocation/long-term mitigation.
unauthorized public exposure media/legal escalation compensation/settlement demands
👥 Personnel 10 total
Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 6 Six 24/7 guards (3 shifts) for continuous containment watch; base pay assumptions taken from note #14.
Technician / Maintenance 2 Two full-time technicians/operators to manage projection systems, cameras, HVAC and robotic manipulators (note #15).
Research Scientist 2 Two containment/research scientists for test design and analysis (note #16).
📋 Confidence Notes
Containment hardware and staffing needs are well-described in the notes, so major cost categories are reliable; however many line items (maintenance, incident frequency, insurance/top-up levels, and contingency sizing) require judgment and locality-specific pricing, so figures are medium-confidence estimates.
