⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $3.6M/yr
70.0% probability / year
Normal operational year with no major incidents; routine containment, research, and maintenance.
No manifestations escape restroom Normal staffing and research activity
🚨 Minor Incident $3.7M/yr
25.0% probability / year +$65K vs baseline
Localized manifestation or small escape requiring targeted response, fumigation, and modest PR/legal payouts.
Small infestation or localized breach Single-day containment mobilization
🚨 Major Breach $6.1M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$2.5M vs baseline
Significant containment failure or spread beyond restroom requiring large-scale remediation, extended closure, and major legal/PR action.
Widespread infestation beyond sealed area Failure of rollback procedures or structural damage

Role Count Notes
Undercover Hotel Staff 25 [#5] Front desk, housekeeping, maintenance, managers and other hotel positions operated by Foundation agents (assumed ~25 staff at ~$60k fully-burdened).
Security Officer / MTF Agent 8 [#6] Dedicated security personnel for round-the-clock coverage (assumed ~8 guards at ~$50k fully-burdened).

📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are based on analyst-provided ranges and a working example (Las Vegas boutique hotel). Property acquisition and local taxes/insurance vary widely and incident frequency/severity is uncertain, so medium confidence is assigned.
