⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $8.3M/yr
85.0% probability / year
Normal year with routine operations, maintenance, staffing and monitoring but no major incidents.
no breach routine maintenance regular staffing rotations
🚨 Minor Incident $8.8M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$500K vs baseline
Localized breach or containment event requiring additional cleanup, short-term overtime, legal/PR response and modest repairs.
small breach local media exposure targeted cleanup/repairs
🚨 Major Breach $13.8M/yr
4.0% probability / year +$5.5M vs baseline
Significant containment breach requiring heavy remediation, large-scale forensic work, vehicle losses, major legal/settlement costs and partial structural work.
widespread breach vehicle/asset loss large legal/settlement exposure
🚨 Catastrophic Breach $28.3M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$20.0M vs baseline
Full-scale escalation: structural demolition or removal, major public exposure, mass legal liability and extensive remediation/relocation operations.
uncontrolled mass breach public disclosure need for demolition/complete relocation
👥 Personnel 42 total
Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 27 [#1] 24 perimeter guards + 3 supervisors providing 24/7 armed coverage.
Rapid Reaction / Tactical Containment Team 6 [#2] On-call tactical team trained for containment/recontainment and electrical-hazard protocols.
Research Scientist 8 [#3] Electrical engineers, cyber/controls specialists, forensic pathology and anomalous-behavior researchers.
CCTV / Monitoring Staff 1 [#10] 24/7 video/sensor monitoring operator (core monitoring headcount represented in staff wages).
📋 Confidence Notes
Large ranges and unknowns in the analyst notes (anomalous continuous power draw, uncertain efficacy of EM shielding, possible structural removal, and speculative memetic/amnestic costs) make these order-of-magnitude estimates approximate; contingency assumptions drive much of the one-time total.
