Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $3.4M/yr
76.0% probability / year
Normal year with only planned recurring operations and no major incidents.
routine_surveillance scheduled_maintenance
🚨 Minor Incident $3.9M/yr
20.0% probability / year +$500K vs baseline
Localized uptick in anomalous activity requiring multiple ad hoc STF deployments, targeted repairs, and additional amnestic administrations.

🚨 Major Breach $5.8M/yr
3.0% probability / year +$2.4M vs baseline
Significant spatial restructuring or expansion forcing evacuations, major emergency containment, large repairs, and heavy PR/legal response.

🚨 Catastrophic Breach $8.4M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$5.0M vs baseline
Major uncontrollable event (widespread spatial outbreaks, mass casualties/disappearances) requiring large-scale response and program scale-up.

Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 10 [#4] Round-the-clock coverage using retired agents/contract guards (estimated 9–12 guards in notes; 10 assumed here consistent with staff wage totals).
Surveillance Operator 3 [#5] Operators to monitor camera feeds and coordinate STF calls (2–3 operators noted; 3 assumed).
Site Manager / Supervisor 1 [#5] Single site manager to liaise with NPS and manage documentation.
Research Scientist / Data Analyst 3 [#22, #12] Geometrics analysts, data scientists and artifact specialists to perform mapping, modeling and artifact analysis (staffing level chosen to match recurring research wage allocation).
📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes list specific line items and ranges for most costs, enabling midpoint estimates; uncertainty remains due to wide ranges on structural stabilization, contingency needs and incident frequencies, so confidence is medium.
