⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $379K/yr
94.0% probability / year
Normal year with standard containment, monitoring, and no major incidents.
no structural failures regular inspections no anomalous escalation
🚨 Minor Incident $479K/yr
5.0% probability / year +$100K vs baseline
Limited discovery/containment complication requiring extra forensic work, short-term repairs, and PR/legal support.
localized water ingress or minor door breach additional forensic sampling short-term contractor repairs
🚨 Major Structural Repair $879K/yr
1.0% probability / year +$500K vs baseline
Significant structural failure or discovery requiring major door replacement, deep engineering remediation, and extended forensic work.
severe earthquake damage full door replacement and corridor reconstruction extended specialist contracting
👥 Personnel 7 total
Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 6 [#6] Dedicated 24/7 posting (2 guards per shift × 3 shifts = 6 FTE).
CCTV Operator / Monitor 1 [#7] At least 1 FTE to monitor camera feeds and log events (may be shared).
📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line-item ranges and clear mappings, but many items (structural repairs, contingency, archival vs destruction choice) have wide ranges and site-specific variability; therefore medium confidence.
