Expected annual
$9.6M
One-time setup
$6.5M
Annual recurring
$9.0M
Personnel
22
One-time setup costs are moderate-to-high (~$6.47M) driven by vault/lab buildouts and research seed funding; recurring annual operations are the main ongoing driver (~$9.01M/yr) dominated by the D-Class monitoring network, security, medical/rescue reserves and research operations.

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $9.0M/yr
85.0% probability / year
Normal year with routine monitoring, maintenance, expected transfers and no major incidents.
routine D-Class operations scheduled research and maintenance
🚨 Minor Incident $9.6M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$550K vs baseline
Localized unauthorized use or single-point detection requiring a small MTF recovery, cleanup and medical response.
single unauthorized user detected one MTF recovery operation local forensic cleanup and medical treatment
🚨 Major Breach $13.7M/yr
3.0% probability / year +$4.7M vs baseline
Multiple simultaneous unauthorized uses or a high-profile recovery with extensive medical crises and significant legal exposure.
multiple concurrent users large-scale medical/surgical cases major public exposure requiring legal/PR response
🚨 Catastrophic Breach $29.0M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$20.0M vs baseline
Widespread distribution or mass-public use with government-level exposure requiring emergency scaling of operations and research.
mass distribution national/international exposure emergency scaling of incineration, medical, legal and research
👥 Personnel 22 total
Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 12 [#9] Armed/cleared site security for vault and D-Class housing across shifts (3-shift coverage).
Research Scientist 6 [#16, #17] Medicinal chemistry/analytical staff for mechanism work, trials and R&D.
Medical Officer 2 [#14, #15] Surgeons/medical staff for extractions, surgeries and long-term care coordination.
Technician / Lab Technician 2 [#2, #18] Lab techs for glovebox handling, sample prep, incinerator operation and consumables management.
📋 Confidence Notes
Mid confidence: many capital and routine costs are well-defined (vaults, incinerator, D-Class network) but a large portion of recurring spend is incident-driven and highly variable; estimates use mid-range assumptions for D-Class network size (40) and contingency reserves.
