Upfront one-time costs are dominated by facility reconfiguration, structural containment retrofits, EM/lighting hardening and a recommended contingency reserve; ongoing annual costs are driven by security staffing, research, maintenance, and redundancy (~$6.6M/yr baseline).

Cost Scenarios
📊
Baseline
(baseline)
$6.6M/yr
Normal year with no major breaches; ongoing containment, monitoring, staffing, and routine maintenance only.
no breach events
regular maintenance and training
🚨
Minor Incident
$7.1M/yr
Small containment incident (localized deflation event or equipment failure) requiring repairs, medical care, and limited investigations.
localized deflation
short-term power/EM outage
minor equipment failure
🚨
Major Breach
$9.6M/yr
Significant breach requiring site-level remediation, partial rebuilds, larger relocations, extended investigations, and use of emergency funds.
multi-room simultaneous deflation
extended power/EM disruption
failure of door-keep-open systems
🚨
Catastrophic Breach
$21.6M/yr
Site-scale catastrophic failure requiring full rebuild/relocation, large settlements, and major contingency reserve expenditure.
simultaneous systemic failures
public exposure
loss of containment across multiple zones

Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line items and credible ranges for most costs, but several items have wide ranges (construction, EMI-hardening, contingency size) and assumptions about staffing splits and equipment scope introduce uncertainty.
