One-time capital and site-establishment costs are very large (~$222.45M) driven by perimeter construction, land acquisition, contingency reserve, SRA procurement and base/lab buildout; steady-state recurring operations run roughly $12.225M/year driven by security staffing, logistics/MTF readiness, and ongoing research/monitoring.

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $12.2M/yr
79.0% probability / year
Normal year with routine operations, no large breaches or major remediation actions.
routine operations scheduled maintenance no containment breaches
🚨 Minor Incident $12.6M/yr
18.0% probability / year +$350K vs baseline
Localized breach requiring MTF deployment, short removal operations, and extra logistics/data processing.
single localized breach one or two MTF deployments extra UAV/sensor ops and disposables
🚨 Major Breach $62.2M/yr
3.0% probability / year +$50.0M vs baseline
Significant spread or repeated large removals requiring emergency perimeter expansion, mass remediation, and heavy use of contingency funds.
rapid expansion/spread multiple large-scale removals major environmental remediation and legal exposure
👥 Personnel 45 total
Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 30 [#7] 24/7 permanent security roster for perimeter patrols and rapid dispatch (roster of ~30 guards).
Research Scientist 8 [#14] Xenobotanists, epidemiologists, and lab scientists (8 staff as in analyst notes).
SRA Technician 3 [#6, #5] Specialized technicians for SRA maintenance and deployment operations (wages included in staff_wages).
UAV Pilot / Technician 2 [#11, #12] Operators and data technicians for daily mapping and long-endurance drone operations.
Medical Officer 2 [#22] On-site medical/occupational health staff for screenings, contamination response, and psychological care.
📋 Confidence Notes
Key items (SRA hardware, land/indigenous settlements, and non-euclidean behavior) have large uncertainty ranges; containment behavior could materially change cost profile, so estimates rely on mid-range assumptions from analyst notes.
