⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $23K/yr
94.0% probability / year
Normal year with no major incidents; routine oversight, supplies, monitoring, and disposal occur as budgeted.
no accidental exposures routine maintenance and disposal only
🚨 Minor Incident $31K/yr
5.0% probability / year +$8K vs baseline
Single small accidental exposure requiring ER visit, external hazardous waste pickup, PR/legal small payout, and additional cleanup.
unauthorized access/accidental consumption one staff ER visit external cleanup/disposal required
🚨 Major Breach $63K/yr
1.0% probability / year +$40K vs baseline
Larger-scale exposure affecting multiple civilians/contractors or requiring substantial legal/PR response and deep cleanup.
visitor/contractor exposure multiple medical treatments/ER transports significant legal/PR action and professional remediation

Role Count Notes
Research Scientist 1 [#6] Dr. Corbett (primary PI oversight). Budget reflects a fractional FTE allocation (~0.05–0.10 FTE funded).
Security Officer / MTF Agent 1 [#7] Security personnel (shared/site pool) responsible for verifying transfers and off-hours access; only a small number of guard-hours are budgeted.
Administrative / Records Staff 1 [#5, #18, #22] Staff handling recordkeeping, permission forms, audits, and minor administrative tasks; staffing cost shown as partial allocations in recurring costs.
📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide line-item ranges for most costs enabling a reasonable estimate; uncertainty remains around incident frequency, scope of long-term research (optional), and potential large legal events, so confidence is not high.
