Estimated initial one-time setup and acquisition costs are approximately $2.16M driven primarily by site acquisition, escalation contingency, and initial remediation/buyouts; ongoing annual operations cost about $1.26M driven by staff wages (security, site management, researchers), legal/cover operations, and monitoring infrastructure.

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $1.3M/yr
95.5% probability / year
Normal year with sealed-wing monitoring, no forced entry or major incidents; routine maintenance and research continue.
sealed monitoring routine maintenance no unauthorized breaches
🚨 Minor Incident $1.4M/yr
4.0% probability / year +$150K vs baseline
Localized incident such as attempted unlawful entry, small contamination event, or limited breach attempt requiring site-level emergency response and limited controlled interventions.
attempted unauthorized access limited contamination small-scale breaching attempt
🚨 Major Breach $2.8M/yr
0.5% probability / year +$1.5M vs baseline
Significant escalation requiring mobilization of wider Foundation assets: large containment teams, facility evacuation/relocation, major medical/legal response, or neutralization attempt.
successful large-scale breach off-site effects observed mass casualty/contamination
👥 Personnel 11 total
Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 6 [#3] Rotating 24/7 on-site armed guard team (6 total to cover shifts).
Site Director / Executive Staff 1 [#4] Senior site director responsible for daily decisions and liaison with external authorities.
Administrative Staff 1 [#4] On-site administrator/HR for relocated staff and operations.
Research Scientist 3 [#21] Dedicated anomaly research team (2–4 recommended; midpoint used) to coordinate experiments, monitoring and reporting.
📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates combine well-defined operational costs (staff, equipment, routine maintenance) with wide ranges for property acquisition, breach/contingency events, and anomalous-specific interventions; uncertainty about anomaly behavior and contingency mobilization lowers confidence.
