⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $4.6M/yr
83.0% probability / year
Normal year with no major incidents: routine operations, research, maintenance, and staffing costs only.
no destabilization events routine maintenance and research
🚨 Minor Incident $5.3M/yr
15.0% probability / year +$700K vs baseline
Localized destabilization or sensor/system failure requiring emergency repairs, limited replacement of equipment, and increased medical/support costs.
small destabilization during staff interaction minor structural damage or sensor loss
🚨 Major Breach $7.1M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$2.5M vs baseline
Significant destabilization or partial containment failure causing major structural repairs, replacement of high-precision instrumentation, extended medical treatment, and legal/PR expenses.
large-scale destabilization structural collapse or public exposure loss/relocation of one or both subjects
👥 Personnel 32 total
Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 24 [#8] Two segregated 24/7 teams (4 guards/shift × 3 shifts per timeline = 12 per timeline, 24 total).
Research Scientist / Technician 8 [#9] Containment specialists, technicians, and researchers (6–10 FTEs; midpoint used).
📋 Confidence Notes
High uncertainty due to temporal/anomalous behavior, potential for non-linear cost escalation in destabilizations, and wide ranges in real-estate and specialized equipment pricing; many items are order-of-magnitude estimates.
