One-time setup
$2.2M
Annual recurring
$1.5M
Personnel

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $1.5M/yr
74.0% probability / year
Normal year with routine operations, monitoring, scheduled small expeditions and no major incidents.
routine monitoring scheduled maintenance small-scale testing
🚨 Minor Incident $1.6M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$125K vs baseline
Localized exposure or small breach requiring rapid-response deployment, targeted amnesticization and elevated PR/legal activity.
localized public exposure single-subject breach equipment repair
🚨 Major Breach $2.8M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$1.2M vs baseline
Significant containment failure or public breach requiring large-scale emergency response, mass amnesticization, equipment replacement and legal settlements.
large public exposure loss of multiple relay/robotic assets major legal/compensation events
🚨 Major Expedition $2.0M/yr
20.0% probability / year +$500K vs baseline
Planned, resource-intensive multi-week expedition into the anomaly requiring many robotics/relay replacements and extended team support.
planned deep exploration multi-week campaigns high logistics/robotics usage

Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 1 [#3] Single undercover onsite guard (salary + benefits included in staff_wages).
Video/Alarm Analyst 2 [#4] Remote monitoring staff (2 FTE assumed for 24/7 rotation; wages included in staff_wages).
Rapid Response Team (Technician/Medic) 4 [#18] Nearby rapid-response crew for emergency amnestic/quarantine operations (crew payroll included in staff_wages).
📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line items and ranges, allowing mid-range estimates; uncertainty remains due to variable expedition frequency, contingency sizing and unknown long-term equipment attrition, so confidence is medium.
