⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $2.8M/yr
91.5% probability / year
Normal operational year with scheduled cleaning, maintenance, research and no major incidents.
routine_operations scheduled_maintenance ongoing_research
🚨 Minor Incident $3.4M/yr
8.0% probability / year +$600K vs baseline
Localized containment event (lost equipment, small breach of exclusion radius, temporary evacuation, extra cleanup and repair) requiring incident response and overtime.
localized_disappearance_of_equipment temporary_breach_of_exclusion_radius small_tremors_and_evacuation
🚨 Major Breach $10.8M/yr
0.5% probability / year +$8.0M vs baseline
Severe containment failure (site-level disappearance, large-scale breach) requiring emergency entombment/isolation, large mobilization and legal/compensation expenses.

Role Count Notes
Maintenance / Cleaning Crew 4 [#4] Trained cleaning crew to meet required cleaning frequency and shift coverage (3–4 FTE assumed as 4).
Security Officer / MTF Agent 6 [#7] Additional perimeter security and rapid-response team (4–8 FTE assumed as 6).
Research Scientist / Engineer 3 [#18, #6] On-site scientists and engineers dedicated to non-contact research and instrumentation (2–5 FTE assumed as 3).
📋 Confidence Notes
Midpoint estimates used across wide-ranging underground construction, robotics and anomalous-research line items. Containment behaviour and extreme one-time contingency needs are uncertain (wide ranges in notes); staff and steady-state maintenance estimates are better constrained.
