⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $45.1M/yr
5.0% probability / year
Normal operational year with routine monitoring, staffing, and no large-scale or multi-site crises.

🚨 Single Weissnacht Response $51.1M/yr
90.0% probability / year +$6.0M vs baseline
One or a small number of Weissnacht Events requiring multiple CTF deployments, surge amnestic use, victim relocation and extra PR/legal actions.

🚨 Multisite Weissnacht Wave $120.1M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$75.0M vs baseline
Simultaneous multi-site Weissnacht events across multiple countries causing mass deployments, mass-casualty response, large-scale public exposure risk and emergency draw on reserve funds.

Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 96 [#1] Eight CTFs × ~12 personnel each (~96 total), loaded cost reflected in staff_wages (#1).
Monitoring Analyst / Intelligence Officer 20 [#4] Monitoring & Analysis Center 24/7 analysts and officers (~20 staff, #4).

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst-provided line-item estimates are specific and used directly, but many large items (containment feasibility, reserve usage, frequency of multi-site events) are uncertain; hence medium confidence.
