⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $383K/yr
91.0% probability / year
Normal uneventful year with regular operations, monitoring, maintenance and research activity.
routine monitoring scheduled maintenance ongoing research
🚨 Minor Incident $398K/yr
8.0% probability / year +$15K vs baseline
Localized equipment failure or small containment incident requiring temporary relocation, contractor repairs and overtime.
sensor/camera failure temporary relocation for repairs minor forensic/diagnostic work
🚨 Major Incident $503K/yr
1.0% probability / year +$120K vs baseline
Significant equipment loss, major forensic investigation or an operational incident requiring extensive replacement, contractors and potential temporary surge staffing.

Role Count Notes
Containment Specialist / Caretaker 2 [#8] Two full-time staff to cover daily monitoring, play supervision and in-room care (overlap for days off).
Spectral Technician / Systems Engineer 1 [#9] Dedicated technician (0.5–1.0 FTE equivalent) for sensor/camera maintenance and data-feed support; counted as one head for coverage.
📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst-provided ranges and clear procedural requirements yield reasonably well-defined cost categories, but uncertainties remain around how many staff elect TS-303, exact redundancy levels for specialized spectral hardware, and contingency funding policy.
