⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $4.9M/yr
91.0% probability / year
Normal year with routine monitoring, maintenance, research, and occasional planned replacements; no major containment incidents.
no breaches routine replacements scheduled research and monitoring
🚨 Minor Incident $5.3M/yr
8.0% probability / year +$400K vs baseline
Localized surface manifestation requiring targeted Task Force deployments, modest device repairs/replacements, limited amnestic use and short‑term PR/legal activity.
localized breach multiple small device failures few public witnesses requiring amnestics
🚨 Major Breach $7.4M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$2.5M vs baseline
Large containment breach with many surface manifestations, extensive Task Force mobilization, mass amnestic administration, emergency infrastructure repairs and possible municipal/legal payouts.
widespread simultaneous manifestations extensive vandalism or device network failure substantial civilian exposure requiring mass amnestics
👥 Personnel 10 total
Role Count Notes
Task Force Eta-30 (operators/animal handlers) 8 [#11] Dedicated on‑call response team for captures, sedation and quarantine; salaries included in staff_wages.
Weekly Inspection Technician 2 [#9] Field technicians performing weekly checks, vehicle patrols and minor repairs; salaries included in staff_wages.
📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide itemized cost ranges for each category and clear operational requirements, but device counts/density, unit specification (consumer vs industrial), and local real estate/pricing are uncertain; ranges therefore yield medium confidence.
