⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $17.9M/yr
81.5% probability / year
Routine year with scheduled maintenance, regular research and monitoring, and no major containment incidents. Includes recurring SRA power/maintenance if SRAs are maintained.
routine_operations scheduled_maintenance regular_research_deployments
🚨 Minor Incident $18.2M/yr
15.0% probability / year +$250K vs baseline
Small coordinated breach attempt requiring emergency HCN flushes, overtime, extra consumables, limited repairs, and heightened patrols.
small_breach_attempt coordinated_fauna_activity overtime_and_repair_work
🚨 Major Breach $20.4M/yr
3.0% probability / year +$2.5M vs baseline
A larger breach causes damage to seals/doors, requires multi-day recovery operations, infrastructure repair, larger disposal operations, and possible temporary enhanced SRA/power usage.
large_breach infrastructure_damage extended_recovery_operations
🚨 Catastrophic Breach $67.9M/yr
0.5% probability / year +$50.0M vs baseline
Severe containment failure requiring full-scale escalation: replacement of major infrastructure and potentially SRA replacement, large-scale excavation or permanent sealing operations, heavy use of contingency funds.

Security Supervisor 2 [#6] Supervisory chain for rotations, AWOL cover and coordination with response teams.
Research Scientist 5 [#11] Scientists conducting genetics, taxonomy, behavior and Hume research; headcount consistent with recurring research wage allocation.
Research Technician 3 [#11, #12] Laboratory and field technicians supporting sampling, sequencing, sensor maintenance and weekly checks.
Engineer / Maintenance 2 [#13, #23] On-site engineers for seals, doors, ventilation, generators, ROVs and general maintenance.

📋 Confidence Notes
Many line items use order-of-magnitude or range estimates (remote logistics premium, choice of medevac contract vs. purchase, and extreme uncertainty around Scranton Reality Anchors). SRA costs dominate and are highly uncertain; personnel and recurring consumables are better constrained.
