⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $3.1M/yr
83.0% probability / year
Normal year with routine operations, no major incidents.
routine operations no breach scheduled research
🚨 Minor Incident $3.3M/yr
15.0% probability / year +$200K vs baseline
Localized containment incident requiring overtime, repairs, limited remediation and increased PR response.
civilian trespass small breach or equipment failure heightened media attention
🚨 Major Breach $6.1M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$3.0M vs baseline
Significant containment failure or discovery requiring major emergency construction, remediation, legal action and large contingency draw.
containment breach structural collapse or uncontrolled temporal propagation major litigation or public exposure

Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 10 [#7] Full-time guard force for 24/7 coverage (rotations, leave) included in staff wages.

📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are based on analyst ranges and the SCP description; major uncertainties remain around whether a full sealed vault is required and local land costs, so figures are midpoint-based rather than narrowly confidence-increased.
