⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $13.2M/yr
89.0% probability / year
Routine operations with no major incidents; normal staffing, maintenance and R&D spending.
routine operations no containment incidents
🚨 Minor Incident $14.2M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$1.0M vs baseline
Localized containment incident or memetic exposure requiring emergency response, repairs, and elevated PR/legal actions.
localized breach emergency response deployment small public rumor / limited leakage
🚨 Major Breach $33.2M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$20.0M vs baseline
Significant containment failure or public exposure requiring large-scale remediation, legal/PR suppression and multi-site response.
full containment breach widespread public exposure multi-site contamination

Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 36 6 guards per cell × 6 cells, three shifts, includes Level-2/3 coverage [#6].
Engineer / Maintenance / Containment Technician 3 Technicians to maintain life support, robotics, HVAC and decon for the wing [#7].
Research Psychologist / Clinical Staff 2 Psychology staff covering weekly consultations and monitoring across subjects [#8].
Medical Officer / Neurology Team 6 Nurses, neurologists and imaging techs providing 24/7 on-call and monitoring support [#9].
📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide ranges and clear cost drivers but contain many assumptions (number of cells, scale of suppression, choice of on-site imaging). Estimates use mid-range choices and a 6-cell wing baseline; uncertainty remains in suppression spending and R&D outcomes.
