⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $2.2M/yr
92.0% probability / year
Normal year with no major incidents; routine containment, minimal in-house research, and periodic maintenance.
no accidental implantations no major containment incidents limited occasional transfers
🚨 Minor Incident $2.3M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$100K vs baseline
Single accidental implantation or small-scale incident requiring surgery, diagnostics, limited remediation and PR/legal response.
accidental implantation single-subject emergency surgery limited PR/legal response
🚨 Major Breach $4.2M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$2.0M vs baseline
Large transfiguration (e.g., large aquatic or terrestrial predator) causing structural damage, broad remediation, emergency housing and significant PR/legal/containment costs.
large-animal emergence structural damage/HVAC contamination high-profile leakage requiring broad remediation
🚨 Long Term Custody $2.5M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$300K vs baseline
Requirement to retain one or more irreversible transfigured subjects in long-term custody with full-time housing, veterinary care and security.
irreversible transformation retained in-house specialized enclosure and ongoing care required

Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 4 [#17] Security staffing for site containment and subject housing (two-person rules, monitoring).
Research Scientist 1 [#12] Scientific oversight and limited research program coordination.
Research Technician / Lab Tech 1 [#10, #13] Lab technician support for sample prep, testing, and equipment operation.
Site Director / Administrative Staff 1 [#2, #23] Administrative, records management, and cover-story coordination responsibilities.
Medical Officer / Nurse 1 [#7, #9] On-site medical monitoring, post-op observation coordination; surgical specialists are contracted on-call in baseline.
📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates combine many wide ranges provided in analyst notes (some items span orders of magnitude). Baseline choices (contracted surgeons vs full-time, number of retained subjects, degree of active research) drive large variance; thus confidence is medium.
