🚨 Major Breach $4.0M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$1.5M vs baseline
Significant containment breach or memetic exposure requiring extensive remediation: structural reconstruction, large legal/settlement costs, full replacement of monitoring suite and accelerated R&D.

Role Count Notes
Monitoring Operator 6 Live-feed and Kant-counter operators (part of #7 staffing).
Monitoring Supervisor 1 Supervisor for watch rotations and handoffs (part of #7).
Security Officer / MTF Agent 6 Perimeter guards and first responders for sealed hall (part of #8 staffing).
Research Scientist 4 Specialized memetics/logic researchers and technicians (modeled from #9).
📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are based on wide ranges provided in analyst notes and depend strongly on scale assumptions (number of agnostic doses, number of Kant counters, and extent of relocation). Memetic and pharmaceutical aspects (agnostics R&D and medical risk) introduce significant uncertainty, so overall confidence is low.
