🚨 Minor Incident $1.2M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$150K vs baseline
Localized containment incident or limited exposure requiring remediation, extra amnestic use, equipment replacement, and legal response.

🚨 Major Breach $3.6M/yr
0.5% probability / year +$2.5M vs baseline
Significant breach/public exposure requiring large-scale remediation, mass amnestic deployment, containment upgrades, and insurance payouts.

Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 4 [#6] 24/7 guard coverage for containment wing; salary estimates based on $40–$60k/guard.
Research Scientist 3 [#10] Dedicated linguists/cognitive scientists and supporting researchers for testing and hazard modeling.
Medical Officer 1 [#5] On-call physician(s) for amnestic administration and adverse reaction management.
📋 Confidence Notes
Many line items have broad estimate ranges and hinge on uncertain testing tempo and incident frequency; equipment and staffing needs are well described, but contingency requirements are scenario-dependent, yielding moderate confidence.
