Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $820K/yr
78.0% probability / year
Normal year with steady operations, expected shrinkage and routine research/monitoring, no major incidents.
steady foot traffic no major exposures normal operational incidents
🚨 Minor Incident $880K/yr
20.0% probability / year +$60K vs baseline
Localized exposure or elevated foot traffic causing increased shrinkage and a handful of amnesticization operations.
spike in civilian visits multiple small amnestic incidents temporary increased inventory losses
🚨 Major Breach $1.1M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$300K vs baseline
Significant exposure / corporate audit / public discovery requiring mass amnesticization, emergency rentals, legal settlements and rapid scale-up of logistics.
public leak or corporate audit mass civilian awareness legal action or expensive settlements

Role Count Notes
Foundation Store Clerk (on-site personnel) 4 Covers minimum two staff on-site at all times with shifts and bench coverage; costs included in staff_wages [#7].
Part-time Clerk / Cleaner 2 Additional corporate-compliant staff for cleaning and appearance maintenance; costs included in staff_wages [#8].
📋 Confidence Notes
Many cost items are well-scoped (rent, equipment, lab setup) but the dominant recurring driver (inventory shrinkage due to the anomaly) is highly uncertain and foot-traffic dependent, producing moderate confidence in the annual estimate.
