⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $839K/yr
88.0% probability / year
Normal year with no major incidents; routine operations and planned research continue.
no breaches scheduled maintenance routine veterinary care
🚨 Minor Incident $864K/yr
8.0% probability / year +$25K vs baseline
Localized incident requiring emergency veterinary care, short-term overtime for security, and small repairs/investigation.
Elan-Vital spike causing temporary systems outage injury to specimen requiring emergency care small property damage
🚨 Major Breach $989K/yr
1.0% probability / year +$150K vs baseline
Significant breach or visible anomalous event drawing civilian attention and requiring large legal/repair/containment response.
public exposure property-wide anomalous event extensive damage requiring reconstruction
🚨 Removal Testing Resumed $939K/yr
3.0% probability / year +$100K vs baseline
Containment/testing campaign resumes (attempted collar removal or intensive R&D), requiring extra staff, equipment, and temporary operational expansion.
ethics committee approval successful development of detection/neutralization tools decision to resume removal/testing

Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 7 Seven guards covering three shifts; salary assumptions from note #7.
Site Supervisor / Security Supervisor 1 Single on-site supervisor for shift coordination as in note #7.
Animal Technician 1 Full-time animal care technician for daily feeding and monitoring (note #8).
Research Scientist 2 Materials scientist/behavioral biologist staffing to support ongoing analysis (note #23).
Contract Veterinarian 0 Contracted monthly vet visits (contractor; not on-site staff full-time) per note #8.
📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide many specific line-item estimates, but property price variability, uncertainty about R&D scope for Elan-Vital detection, and whether Foundation already owns the property introduce moderate uncertainty.
