⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $1.2M/yr
84.5% probability / year
Uneventful year with normal monitoring, single-instance containment, routine research and maintenance.
no incidents routine monitoring standard staffing levels
🚨 Minor Incident $1.2M/yr
12.0% probability / year +$40K vs baseline
Small field seizure or limited civilian exposure requiring a handful of controlled buys, a field operation, minor legal/amnestic actions.
localized civilian seizure single additional field operation small legal/cover action
🚨 Major Breach $1.8M/yr
3.0% probability / year +$600K vs baseline
Widespread exposure or multi-instance discovery that triggers mass seizures, many amnestic administrations, heavy litigation and scaling of containment.
multiple civilian exposures mass amnesticization needed large-scale seizures and litigation
🚨 Research Breakthrough Requiring Scale Up $1.4M/yr
0.5% probability / year +$200K vs baseline
Active research yields results necessitating expanded lab capacity, additional personnel and equipment to study memetic/textile agents.
new memetic findings scale-up of laboratory additional specialist hires
👥 Personnel 10.5 total
Role Count Notes
Security Officer 6 [#3] Six guards for minimum two-person coverage per shift (3 shifts).
Site Security Supervisor 1 [#3] Supervisor coverage for security team and shift management.
Research Scientist 1 [#4] One full-time assigned researcher for Euclid-level monitoring and experiments.
Containment Technician / Medic 1 [#4] One containment technician/medic assigned to the instance.
Psychologist 0.5 [#4] Part-time psychologist (0.5 FTE) for interviews and behavior monitoring.
Intelligence Analyst / OSINT 1 [#15] Dedicated analyst for monitoring sales, reviews, and running automated crawlers.
📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line-item ranges and staffing guidelines, allowing reasonable estimates for salaries and common recurring costs; uncertainty remains in frequency of deaths/exposures, memetic testing needs, and scope of legal/cover operations, so confidence is medium.
