One-time setup
$43.5M
Annual recurring
$32.6M
Personnel

Initial capital/setup costs are dominated by procurement and installation of six Heka-class EVE devices and contingency/reserve funds, producing a sizable one-time bill. Recurring annual costs are driven by personnel (operators, security, mobile teams), Site-94 long-term care, memetics research, and cover-story/legal/PR operations.

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $32.6M/yr
90.0% probability / year
Normal year with steady containment operations, no major incidents.
steady device operation routine detections handled without escalation no major public leaks
🚨 Minor Incident $37.3M/yr
8.0% probability / year +$4.7M vs baseline
Localized outbreak or leak requiring surge field response, extra amnestic dosing and extra PR/legal action.
localized cluster > expected small public reposting wave rapid need for extra mobile-team deployments
🚨 Major Breach $82.3M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$49.7M vs baseline
Large-scale public outbreak requiring full emergency scale-up: mass amnestic campaigns, new device deployments, major legal/PR expenditures.
widespread reposting or mutation evading detection mass infection clusters in multiple regions major public leak or coordinated adversarial amplification

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line items and ranges, allowing midpoint-based estimates; however memetic dynamics, outbreak probabilities, and optional large programs/reserves introduce substantial uncertainty.
