🚨 Major Breach $45.5M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$30.0M vs baseline
Significant containment failure requiring mass remediation, large-scale public compensation, replacement containment hardware and extended deployment of resources.

Role Count Notes
Containment Specialist AIC 20 [#12] High-clearance specialized AIC staff providing 24/7 containment monitoring and maintenance.
Site Support Staff (security/medic/tech/admin) 15 [#13] Security guards, medics, technicians, janitorial, logistics and administrative staff required to operate the provisional site.
📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are based on wide analyst ranges and a heavily redacted, memetic/cognitive SCP file; many costs (DEUS hardware, breach severity, contingency sizing) are deeply uncertain, so overall confidence is low.
