Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $9.0M/yr
87.0% probability / year
Normal year with ongoing monitoring, routine maintenance, and no major incidents.
steady monitoring routine maintenance no breaches
🚨 Minor Incident $9.3M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$250K vs baseline
Short-term spike in signal activity or small civilian incursion requiring overtime, additional amnestics, limited equipment repair, and extra analysis.
increased signal activity small civilian incursion equipment repair
🚨 Major Breach $10.5M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$1.5M vs baseline
Significant breach or equipment failure with cross-border complications requiring large operational surge, vehicle/equipment replacement, legal costs, and emergency deployments.
mass civilian incursion major equipment loss cross-border enforcement action
🚨 Cross Border Diplomatic Incident $12.0M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$3.0M vs baseline
Sustained political/diplomatic exposure or litigation with bilateral government involvement requiring large compensations, long-term legal defense, and major operational restructuring.
public disclosure intergovernmental dispute large compensation claims

Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 12 [#4] 12 alpine-capable guards for 24/7 checkpoints and perimeter staffing (count aligned with the security salary estimate used).
Rapid Response Field Team 8 [#5] 6–10 tactical/medic/transport personnel; 8 estimated to align with the rapid-response wage budget.
Research Scientist / Signal Analyst / Linguist 9 [#10] Spectrum analysts, signal processing researchers, and computational linguists (headcount chosen to align with the analyst salary budget).
📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are midpoints of wide analyst-provided ranges; many costs (hardware at extreme frequencies, cross-border legal settlements, and reserves) are uncertain, but operational staffing and standard recurring items are well-characterized.
