One-time setup
$2.9M
Annual recurring
$818K
Personnel
7
Initial one-time costs are dominated by optional property acquisition (~$2.6M) and potential neutralization equipment; recurring costs (~$818k/year) are driven by personnel (regional response teams and research staff), property lease/maintenance, containment contingency funds and administrative overhead.

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $818K/yr
73.0% probability / year
Normal operational year with no major incidents; routine relocations and scheduled travel/monitoring occur.
regular relocations scheduled maintenance routine training
🚨 Minor Incident $838K/yr
20.0% probability / year +$20K vs baseline
An above-average year of unexpected relocations requiring additional deployments, extra amnestics/legal costs and minor property repairs.
unexpected multi-site relocations civilian witnesses requiring amnestics additional retrieval deployments
🚨 Major Breach $938K/yr
5.0% probability / year +$120K vs baseline
A containment escalation requiring full MTF deployment, large emergency response and extensive media/amnestic operations.
public exposure large-scale relocation causing mass witnesses property damage requiring emergency response
🚨 Neutralization Project $1.1M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$325K vs baseline
Policy-approved neutralization/permanent removal executed, incurring one-time neutralization costs in-year in addition to baseline operations.

📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are midpoints of wide ranges provided in analyst notes; many items are optional (purchase vs lease, level of staffing, frequency of relocations) so totals depend heavily on posture choices. Staffing and property assumptions drive most variance.
