One-time setup
$348K
Annual recurring
$1.7M
Personnel
16
One-time setup and specialized equipment are modest (~$348k) while annual operating costs are dominated by MTF readiness and staff wages, producing a high recurring burden (~$1.68M/year). Main cost drivers are standing MTF personnel/readiness and dedicated research/medical response.

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $1.7M/yr
91.0% probability / year
Normal year with routine husbandry, monitoring, and standing readiness; no major escapes or large-scale incidents.

🚨 Minor Incident $1.7M/yr
8.0% probability / year +$-23200 vs baseline
Localized escape(s) requiring a small number (1–3) of MTF responses, limited evacuations, extra disposal and medical attention for a few staff/civilians.

🚨 Major Breach $1.9M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$207K vs baseline
Multiple site-level infestations or a sustained outbreak requiring mass MTF deployment, larger evacuations, and substantial cover-story expenditures.

🚨 Catastrophic Breach $2.7M/yr
0.1% probability / year +$957K vs baseline
Widespread contamination (e.g., major public coffee contamination), large-scale evacuations and emergency extermination requiring major contingency draws and long-term remediation.
