⚡ Cost Scenarios

📊 Baseline (baseline) $1.1M/yr

85.0% probability / year

Normal, uneventful year with no major incidents; operations run under existing contracts and routine maintenance/research continues.

No escapes GoI-466 continues custody or Foundation handles routine ops No major public incidents

🚨 Minor Incident $1.2M/yr

12.0% probability / year +$75K vs baseline

Localized escape or small public incident requiring targeted recapture, extra legal/PR work and modest medical/settlement costs.

Single escape or small cluster of attacks Localized media attention Minor legal action or small-scale recapture deployment

🚨 Major Breach $2.1M/yr

3.0% probability / year +$1.0M vs baseline

Mass escape, coordinated offensive behavior, or discovery that requires property buyout, large-scale recapture and sustained public-safety operations.

Mass escape into populated areas Coordinated attacks or outbreak Forced acquisition of property / high-profile legal battle

👥 Personnel 4 total

Role	Count	Notes
Aviculturalist / Keeper	4	[#5] Full-time animal-keeping staff to handle feeding, enrichment, daily monitoring and the employment-emulation program.

📋 Confidence Notes

Large ranges in analyst estimates, dependence on GoI-466 custody vs Foundation takeover, and many episodic/contingent costs (legal battles, property buyouts, mass-recapture scenarios) produce substantial uncertainty.
