⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $5.1M/yr
87.5% probability / year
Normal operational year with no major incidents; steady-state recurring costs only.
no incidents regular maintenance only
🚨 Minor Incident $5.3M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$200K vs baseline
Localized anomalous behavior or supply-routing error requiring investigation, small replacement orders and limited MTF tasking.
unusual supply request small breach or misrouting short MTF deployment
🚨 Major Breach $6.6M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$1.5M vs baseline
Significant containment failure or malicious activity by Sneed.aic requiring extended MTF operations, failover activation, wide forensic rebuild and public cover response.
coordinated tampering widespread supply-chain manipulation extended failover/decommissioning work
🚨 Catastrophic Breach $15.1M/yr
0.5% probability / year +$10.0M vs baseline
System-wide catastrophic failure or hostile exploitation requiring full decommissioning, large capital rebuilds, and major Foundation-wide mitigation.
full system compromise necessity of permanent isolation or destruction major public exposure

Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 14 [#5] 24/7 dedicated containment guards (12–16 FTE assumed; used 14 for budgeting).
Systems Engineer / Legacy-hardware Technician 3 [#7] Vintage mainframe specialists (2–4 technicians; used 3).
SOC Analyst 4 [#11] Continuous monitoring analysts (3–6 recommended; used 4).

📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are medium confidence: analyst notes provide ranges and itemized drivers, but many line items (vintage spares, MTF operational tempo, and rare catastrophic outcomes) have wide uncertainty and depend on site policy choices about redundancy vs. risk tolerance.
