⚡ Cost Scenarios

📊 Baseline (baseline) $16.6M/yr

83.0% probability / year

Normal year with ongoing containment, patrols, research and routine cover operations; no major breaches or surges.

routine_patrols standard_research_activity no_breach_events

🚨 Minor Incident $16.8M/yr

12.0% probability / year +$200K vs baseline

Small-scale intrusion(s) or localized medical incidents requiring extra amnestics, overtime, limited emergency response and modest PR activity.

trespassers amnestic_treatments limited_response_deployments

🚨 Major Breach $19.1M/yr

3.0% probability / year +$2.5M vs baseline

Significant breach requiring full emergency response, multiple medevacs, asset replacement and expanded PR/legal response.

large_breach multiple_casualties asset_damage

🚨 Catastrophic Breach And Exposure $22.6M/yr

2.0% probability / year +$6.0M vs baseline

Major containment failure combined with media/political exposure requiring mass relocation, large legal payouts and long-term surge in research and containment.

👥 Personnel 119 total

Role	Count	Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent	110	[#3] Company-strength Beta-2 personnel providing 24/7 perimeter security and rapid response; count chosen within 80–140 range consistent with salary budget.
Site Director / Executive Staff	1	[#26] Site director/executive oversight positions included in administrative staffing budget.
Administrative Staff	8	[#26] Admin/finance/HR and security ops leads supporting site operations; headcount derived from administrative salary pool portion of staff wages.

📋 Confidence Notes

Estimates are grounded in detailed analyst line items (facility retrofit, staff sizes, equipment lists) but contain uncertainty around decisions (lease vs. purchase of aircraft), incident frequency/severity, and scale of covert economic measures; hence medium confidence.
