Initial, mid-range containment estimated at $3,900,000 one-time driven primarily by Scranton Reality Anchor (SRA) purchase/backup and associated equipment; recurring annual costs ~ $1,527,000 driven by specialist staff wages, security, contingency reserves and SRA operation/energy.
🏗️ One-Time Capital Costs Total: $3.9M
Equipment $3.2M
[#2, #3, #7] Primary SRA purchase & installation (majority of cost), backup SRA modules/UPS/generator hardware and initial CCTV/recording equipment purchase & installation.
Facilities $350K
[#1, #23] Construction/renovation of reinforced humanoid containment cell and optional safety subchamber; includes engineering, permitting, structural tie-ins and installation labor for seals/emergency fixtures.
Contingency Fund $200K
[#21] Initial contingency/reserve fund contribution to cover large unexpected costs (SRA replacement, relocation, legal events).
Initial Research And Lab Setup $85K
[#8, #15] Initial on-prem servers/storage purchase, lab instrumentation and wearable/telemetry sensor hardware for initial research setup.
Emergency Kit $50K
[#13] One-time purchase of emergency response & containment-breach supplies (sedatives, restraints, PPE, rapid SRA re-engagement toolkit).
Cover Story One Time $20K
[#16] One-time cover/PR/legal expenses required for an incident (e.g., immediate reimbursements, rapid legal work, initial amnestic deployment in an incident).
Transportation Initial $15K
[#17] One-time initial recovery / secure transport costs (vehicle readiness, containment transfer kit for recovery).
Amnestic Stock $10K

Contingency Reserve $200K/yr
[#21] Annual allocation to containment-specific insurance / risk fund to smooth the cost of large failures (e.g., SRA replacement) and litigation/relocation reserves.
Facilities Maintenance $180K/yr
[#5, #18] Electricity/energy for SRA, HVAC and containment systems plus pro-rated administrative/site overhead and routine facility maintenance.
Research And Monitoring $95K/yr

Logistics And Transport $5K/yr
[#17] Occasional secure transfers and custody logistics per-transfer costs averaged annually.
⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $1.5M/yr
88.0% probability / year
Normal year with continuous SRA operation, routine experiments and scheduled socialization sessions; no major incidents.
continuous operation no SRA failures routine staffing and maintenance
🚨 Minor Incident $1.6M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$100K vs baseline
Localized SRA fault or brief containment incident requiring technician overtime, repairs, limited medical/amnestic use and extra legal/PR activity.
temporary SRA glitch limited medical treatment small-scale amnestic/legal action
🚨 Major Breach $3.5M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$2.0M vs baseline
Significant SRA failure or containment event requiring SRA replacement, large contingency draw, emergency contractor/tactical response and major legal exposure.
SRA catastrophic failure extended containment breach major legal/exposure response

Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 6 [#6] 24/7 coverage: six guards across three shifts with supervisor and overtime coverage.
SRA Technician / Specialist 2 [#4] Trained technicians for daily operation, recalibration and emergency repairs.
Research Scientist (PI) 1 [#9] Lead researcher overseeing protocols and experiments.
Research Assistant 2 [#9] Assistants for experiments, data collection and session support.

📋 Confidence Notes
Ranges driven by high uncertainty in SRA hardware pricing, contingency sizing and incident likelihood; staff/supplies estimates are better-constrained but major hardware/legal costs introduce medium confidence.
