Annual recurring
$2.5M
Personnel
19
Initial one-time setup and mitigation R&D (facility modifications, R&D on restraints, rapid-response procurement) drive multi-million capital requirements (~$6.0M), while ongoing staffing, research, and security are the principal recurring costs (~$2.53M/yr). Main drivers are restraint R&D, rapid-response capability, continuous research/monitoring, and 24/7 security/caretaker coverage.

Security Initial Training $20K
[#8] Initial specialized non-lethal/telekinesis response training for security personnel (initial $10k–$30k component).
🔄 Annual Recurring Costs Total: $2.5M/yr
Staff Wages $830K/yr
[#4, #5, #8, #11] Annual wages/stipends and replacement coverage: primary caretaker compensation (Amandine stipend/overtime), 2 backup caretakers (cross-trained FTEs), site security salaries for 24/7 coverage, and rotational rapid-response team staffing costs (on-call/rostered pay).

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $2.5M/yr
87.0% probability / year
Normal year with no major incidents: routine staffing, monitoring, maintenance, and research continue as planned.
no incidents routine research and containment operations
🚨 Minor Incident $2.7M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$150K vs baseline
Localized telekinetic incident causes moderate equipment damage, short-term medical/repair costs, and overtime pay.
telekinetic surge localized equipment/projectile damage staff overtime/medical visits
🚨 Major Breach $4.0M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$1.5M vs baseline
Significant containment breach or large-scale incident causing major repairs, litigation exposure, and extended downtime.
equipment/system failure extended uncontrolled telekinetic event third-party exposure or injury
🚨 Containment Scaling Upgrade $5.5M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$3.0M vs baseline
Threat escalation necessitates immediate capital upgrades (isolation vaults, expanded dampeners, staffing scale-up).
discovery of greater capability limits failed mitigations regulatory/legal mandate for deeper isolation

Role Count Notes
Primary Caretaker (Dr. Rhys Amandine) 1 [#4] Single designated caretaker receiving stipend/overtime and replacement coverage when absent.
Backup Caretaker / Trained Staff 2 [#5] Two cross-trained FTEs to provide continuous affectionate/observational coverage and avoid single-point failure.
Security Officer / MTF Agent 12 [#8] Rotational 24/7 coverage (e.g., 4 guards/shift × 3 shifts), trained in non-lethal telekinetic response and de-escalation.
Rapid-Response Containment Team 4 [#11] Rotational mobile extraction/containment personnel on-call for escalations and field extractions; staffing included in recurring logistics and wages.
📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line-item ranges allowing moderate confidence in category-level allocations; large ranges for R&D, contingency, and staffing assumptions reduce precision (hence medium confidence).
