⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $1.1M/yr
88.0% probability / year
Normal year with no major incidents; ongoing containment, monitoring, and planned R&D/reserve allocations.
no incidents routine operations
🚨 Minor Incident $1.1M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$75K vs baseline
Localized containment incident (small swarm, some destruction) requiring overtime, temporary equipment replacement, limited amnestic administration and repairs.
small swarm/mobbing temporary breach overtime & temporary capture operations
🚨 Major Breach $3.6M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$2.5M vs baseline
Large-scale breach analogous to Incident 23/5/1959: mass neutralization/aggregation causing massive generation of instances, multi-site response, aircraft engagement, extensive PR/amnestic operations and repairs.

Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 6 [#10] 24/7 coverage (2 guards/shift × 3 shifts)
Research Scientist 1 [#11] Lead researcher / PI
Research Technician 2 [#11] 1–2 research technicians (averaged to 2)
Conservator / Maintenance 1 [#12] Custodial/technician and periodic conservator time
📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are based on analyst-provided ranges and a clear containment profile but significant uncertainty remains due to the object's anomalous behaviour and potential for high-cost breaches; personnel and operational costs are well-described while incident costs are more uncertain.
