One-time setup
$5.6M
Annual recurring
$10.4M
Personnel

Initial setup/capital is moderate (~$5.6M) driven by vehicles, hardened sensors/comm equipment, and site infrastructure; recurring annual costs are substantial (~$10.4M/yr) driven primarily by full-time security staffing, web/media suppression, research/monitoring, and contingency/reserve replenishment.

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $10.4M/yr
80.0% probability / year
Normal operational year with routine patrols, sensor maintenance, and ongoing research; no major Aradia Event or large public exposure.
no Aradia Event no major equipment failures routine operations and small incidents only
🚨 Minor Incident $10.9M/yr
15.0% probability / year +$500K vs baseline
Isolated Aradia Event or localized breach requiring several additional responses: limited amnestic administrations, extra forensic work, small media takedowns, and temporary surge staffing.
localized Aradia Event (5–15 children affected) loss of 1–2 sensors or a drone small-scale media leak requiring takedown and PR
🚨 Major Aradia Event $14.4M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$4.0M vs baseline
Large-scale Aradia Event or significant exposure leading to mass amnestic deployment, national suppression operations, wide legal exposure, and major equipment/reserve drawdown.
mass Aradia Event (many children across region) nationwide media exposure large-scale legal/compensation demands
👥 Personnel 71 total
Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 60 [#1] Full-time Task Force Sigma-2 operators (rotational staffing to maintain 24/7 perimeter and rapid response).
Local Law Enforcement Liaison / Deputy 8 [#2] Covertly funded local deputies and liaison officers controlling access and providing plausible deniability.
Medical Officer 2 [#12] Field medics attached to the Task Force for immediate care and amnestic administration support.
Psychologist / Trauma Counselor 1 [#12] On-call psychologist to monitor personnel and advise on amnestic/mental-health protocols.
📋 Confidence Notes
Many line items (security staffing, vehicles, initial equipment) are well-specified; however frequencies of Aradia Events, equipment failure rates under EMI, and legal/contingency exposure are uncertain, producing moderate confidence in year-to-year recurring estimates.
