One-time setup
$5.8M
Annual recurring
$4.8M
Personnel

Initial capital and setup are large due to property acquisition, a custom Phasma‑Faraday Shield (PFS) and equipment buildout (approx. $5.76M one‑time). Recurring operations are driven by staffing, R&D and energy/maintenance for the PFS (~$4.85M/yr baseline), with incident years adding substantial repair/cover costs.

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $4.8M/yr
15.0% probability / year
Normal, uneventful year with containment maintained, no major breaches; recurring operations run as planned.
stable PFS operation no major structural failures standard training and R&D cadence
🚨 Minor Incident $5.1M/yr
75.0% probability / year +$300K vs baseline
One or more minor leak events requiring elevated repairs, extra cover operations and increased spare part usage.
minor Phasma leaks increased structural repairs heightened cover/PR activity
🚨 Major Breach $6.3M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$1.5M vs baseline
Large containment failure or destructive leak causing major structural collapse, emergency PFS replacement/repair and significant cover/settlement costs.
runaway phasmic leak structural collapse widespread civilian exposure

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line items and ranges enabling structured estimates, but many items (PFS complexity, frequency of leak events, R&D scale and property choice lease vs purchase) are uncertain and can materially change totals; hence medium confidence.
