⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $454K/yr
92.0% probability / year
Normal year with no containment incidents; routine operations, research (if active), and scheduled maintenance only.
no incidents scheduled research and maintenance
🚨 Minor Incident $530K/yr
6.0% probability / year +$75K vs baseline
Localized containment incident recontained by DCL with support; limited medical exposures and repair needs.
single-person recontainment localized structural/repair costs accidental witness exposure
🚨 Major Breach $1.0M/yr
1.5% probability / year +$570K vs baseline
Significant containment failure with structural damage, broad exposures and rebuild/large legal/PR response.
containment breach with public exposure structural rebuild extensive litigation and long response
🚨 Political Exposure $754K/yr
0.5% probability / year +$300K vs baseline
Sensitive leak or GOI/public exposure that triggers extended legal battles, FOIA runs, and major cover-up operations.
public/GOV leak extended legal/cover operations replacement research/forensic costs
👥 Personnel 4 total
Role Count Notes
Designated Containment Liaison (DCL) 1 [#5] Single-authorized handler with full compensation package; sole permitted interaction.
Security Officer / MTF Agent 1 [#7] One dedicated guard to enforce exclusion zone and evacuation protocols; armed engagement prohibited.
Research Scientist 2 [#14] Research staff (covered in research/monitoring budget ~ $200k/yr total — approximated as two FTE research scientists).
📋 Confidence Notes
Line-item cost estimates were provided in analyst notes for most equipment and recurring items (medium confidence). Remaining uncertainty arises from the anomalous behavior, incident frequency/severity, and variability in legal/incident costs, so top-down scenario probabilities and per-incident totals are judgmental.
