🚨 Major Breach $37.2M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$25.0M vs baseline
Significant containment failure or widespread exposure necessitating multiple international deployments, legal settlements, reserve drawdown and rapid scaling.

Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 24 [#11] Front-line guards assigned to containment cells (4 guards per cell per shift × 3 shifts).
Security Supervisor / Shift Lead 6 [#11] Shift leads and supervisors to manage 24/7 coverage and contingency response.
📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line items and ranges, but many estimates have wide ranges (deploy frequency, insurance/reserve sizing, intelligence intensity) and several scenario-dependent assumptions; this yields medium confidence.
