🚨 Minor Incident $658K/yr
4.0% probability / year +$25K vs baseline
Minor containment incident (e.g., accidental light exposure, brief power failure) requiring emergency response, short repairs, and limited legal/admin actions.

🚨 Major Breach $982K/yr
1.0% probability / year +$350K vs baseline
Major containment breach or public exposure requiring large-scale response, legal/diplomatic action, equipment replacement, and potential purchase of high-end automation (robotic manipulator).

Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 5 [#11] 24/7 security coverage estimated as ~5 on-site-equivalent positions (shift coverage).
Containment Technician 1 [#12] Dedicated 0.5–1.0 FTE containment technician (counted as 1 staff member for scheduling/training).
📋 Confidence Notes
Many line items have bounded estimates and standard procurement categories (construction, refrigeration, staffing), but optional items (robotic manipulator), legal/cover-up magnitude, and relocation frequency introduce variance; therefore medium confidence.
