⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $860K/yr
94.0% probability / year
Normal year with separation maintained and routine recurring costs only.
scheduled separation policies followed no accidental co-location
🚨 Minor Incident $886K/yr
5.0% probability / year +$25K vs baseline
Accidental co-location or brief overlap causing localized water/humidity/pest/noise event requiring cleanup and overtime response.
scheduling conflict temporary badge/proximity failure unexpected meeting overlap
🚨 Major Incident $1.3M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$400K vs baseline
Significant containment failure or deliberate co-location causing substantial water/humidity damage, mold outbreak, equipment loss and extended downtime.
policy failure extended co-location simultaneous systems failure

Role Count Notes
Separation Coordinator (HR/Security) 1 [#1] Single dedicated coordinator (modeled ~0.75 FTE) responsible for scheduling, approvals and immediate interventions.
Research Scientist 2 [#18] Staff to run instrumentation and ongoing anomalous-effect research (salaries included in research_and_monitoring).
Security Officer / MTF Agent 3 [#15] On-call incident-response and escort team (modeled as 2–4 guards; costed as ~3 equivalents).
Administrative Staff 1 [#16] Admin overhead for complaint suppression, record handling and secure log storage (fractional FTE aggregated as one position).
📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are based on analyst note ranges and a conservative mid-range aggregation; uncertainty remains around incident frequency, severity of anomalous manifestations, and organization-specific wage/insurance rates, so confidence is medium.
