⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $1.3M/yr
70.0% probability / year
Normal year with standard containment, no major public incidents or severe medical events.
routine monitoring no ingestion incidents no public exposure
🚨 Minor Incident $1.4M/yr
25.0% probability / year +$100K vs baseline
Single localized ingestion/manifestation requiring MTF response, limited forensic imaging, evidence disposal and minor legal/amnestic actions.
staff or local ingestion event small-scale MTF deployment limited forensic/legal follow-up
🚨 Major Incident $2.6M/yr
4.0% probability / year +$1.3M vs baseline
Severe medical event (organ/bone removal causing life‑threatening injury), major surgery/transplant or long-term care, large legal/PR response and intensive investigation.
fatal or near-fatal organ removal major legal exposure large-scale medical/surgical response
🚨 Public Exposure $1.6M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$300K vs baseline
An instance manifests publicly or outside Foundation custody triggering external investigations, heavier legal costs, PR, and larger MTF/containment ops.
public manifestation external media/legal attention large-scale MTF & PR response
👥 Personnel 6.0 total
Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 4 [#4] 24/7 guarded coverage; 2 officers per shift accounted as 4 FTEs to cover shifts (fully loaded).
Medical Officer / Trauma Surgeon 0.5 [#6] 0.5 FTE trauma surgeon on-call for immediate surgical response.
Medical Nurse / Critical Care 1 [#6] 1 FTE critical care nurse on-call to support trauma response and ICU care.
Administrative Staff 0.5 [#28] 0.5 FTE administrative/coordination time for reporting, claims handling and training coordination.
📋 Confidence Notes
Cost estimates use analyst-provided ranges and midpoints; equipment and staffing numbers are fairly well described but incident frequencies and per-incident medical/legal costs are highly uncertain, so overall confidence is moderate.
