Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $22.0M/yr
75.0% probability / year
Normal year of steady containment with no major incidents; routine maintenance, staffing, medical/quarantine and containment budget expended.
no breach routine equipment failures only scheduled training and maintenance
🚨 Minor Incident $25.0M/yr
20.0% probability / year +$3.0M vs baseline
Loss of multiple drones/robots, localized perimeter breach quickly contained, increased forensic and replacement costs.
drone losses localized equipment sabotage small-scale breach requiring extra deployment
🚨 Major Breach $37.0M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$15.0M vs baseline
Significant breach or uncontrollable escalation requiring expedited demolition or large-scale emergency operations, large compensations and heavy remediation.
large-scale containment failure decision to demolish/reclaim mass equipment loss and litigation/compensation
👥 Personnel 60 total
Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 54 [#2] 24/7 manned perimeter staffing (48–60 guards).
Research Scientist 6 [#16] Retained linguists, memetics/cognitive specialists and specialized researchers (team salaries included in recurring).
📋 Confidence Notes
Costs are low-confidence due to Keter-level unknowns, wide ranges in analyst estimates, binary decision branches (demolition vs reclamation), and significant contingency assumptions.
