Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $9.8M/yr
90.0% probability / year
Normal year with steady operations, no major incidents or large field deployments.
routine containment scheduled research activities standard maintenance and legal/cover operations
🚨 Minor Incident $10.8M/yr
8.0% probability / year +$1.0M vs baseline
Localized field incident requiring rapid response, mobile quarantine deployment, extra legal/PR activity and increased disposal operations.
single small outbreak late-stage subject encountered in the field mobile trailer deployment / mass-dosing event
🚨 Major Breach $39.8M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$30.0M vs baseline
Widespread outbreak or containment failure requiring large-scale termination, relocations, activation of contingency reserve and extensive cover operations.
multi-site outbreak large-scale telepathic contagion spread need to activate catastrophic response fund
👥 Personnel 33 total
Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 24 [#8] 24 guards for rotating 24/7 perimeter and internal security coverage (multiple shifts).
Security Supervisor / Armorer 3 [#8] Supervisory staff, armorer and rapid-response team leads included in security staffing.
Medical Officer 6 [#9] Physicians, psychiatrists and nurses covering on-site clinic and Treatment Protocol 405-Alpha care (4–8 staff range; 6 used here).
📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are order-of-magnitude based on sparse containment briefing and wide ranges provided by the analyst; many items (parcel counts, outbreak frequency, equipment specs) are uncertain, so figures should be treated as preliminary.
