$10.3M
Personnel

[#24] Escalation scaling (doubling coverage) is handled as a scenario/contingency rather than a baseline recurring line item; see scenarios for costs (+$7M/yr per full doubling).
⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $10.3M/yr
75.0% probability / year
Normal year with routine events and no large-scale escalation; all baseline recurring programs active.
steady event rate (~50 events/yr) no public exposure no geographic spread
🚨 Minor Incident $10.7M/yr
20.0% probability / year +$420K vs baseline
Year with a temporary spike in events or several higher-cost incidents requiring expanded medical/PR response but not statewide escalation.
cluster of extra events multiple family payouts additional imaging and medical care
🚨 Major Escalation $17.7M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$7.4M vs baseline
Pattern expands or public exposure requires doubling statewide coverage and creation of visible containment measures (e.g., honeypot shop), driving heavy recurring and one-time costs.
geographic spread beyond initial sites sustained event increase public discovery or required honeypot creation
👥 Personnel 100 total
Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 90 [#1] Embedded agents stationed across ~10 sites to provide 24/7 coverage (3 shifts).
Supervisors / On-call 10 [#1] Supervisory staff and on-call clinicians/managers included in wages estimate (~$700k portion).
📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line-item ranges and a clear dominant cost driver (embedded agents), allowing a constrained estimate; uncertainty remains in event frequency, per-event costs and potential memetic contingencies, so confidence is medium.
