Baseline recurring operations cost approximately $9.5M/year driven by research, security/MTF readiness, site operations and legal/cover efforts. One-time capital and reserve costs (~$45.9M) are dominated by dedicated facility construction, Faraday/shielding installation and contingency reserves for neutralization/remediation.

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $9.5M/yr
84.0% probability / year
Normal year with no major incidents; regular operations, research, maintenance and cover-up activity.
no breaches routine maintenance scheduled research activity
🚨 Minor Incident $10.4M/yr
12.0% probability / year +$850K vs baseline
Localized EM spike or small breach causing equipment loss, an MTF deployment and modest remediation.
single destructive EM spike short MTF deployment replacement of sensors/robots
🚨 Major Breach $14.5M/yr
3.0% probability / year +$5.0M vs baseline
Significant containment failure requiring extended MTF operations, large-scale repairs and partial remediation efforts.
major EM event structural/hull damage extended remediation and environmental cleanup
🚨 Catastrophic Neutralization $24.5M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$15.0M vs baseline
Decision or necessity to neutralize/remove munitions: full neutralization/remediation campaign using contingency reserves and external contractors.
decision to neutralize failed containment requiring demolition major collateral impact
👥 Personnel 40 total
Role Count Notes
Security Officer / Guard 12 [#11] 24/7 security staffing, three shifts (~12 full-time guards).
Mobile Task Force Agents 20 [#10] Rotating MTF-level capability maintained for deployments and interior access windows.
Class-D Personnel 6 [#12] On-site Class-D personnel for supervised interior access when required; turnover handled under management costs.
Site Director / Administrative Staff 2 [#1] Local site administration, liaison and administrative overhead for site operations.
📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line-item estimates and ranges; however major uncertainties remain in incident frequency, whether a dedicated facility is built, and scale of neutralization campaigns, so overall confidence is medium.
