Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $3.8M/yr
82.5% probability / year
Normal operational year with no major incidents: routine staffing, monitoring, waste handling and modest R&D continue.
no containment breach routine sampling and maintenance no major public exposure
🚨 Minor Incident $4.1M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$300K vs baseline
Localized containment event: small spill, limited exposure, short MTF deployment and localized medical response.
small spill or PPE failure limited public exposure or one consumer incident
🚨 Major Breach $6.8M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$3.0M vs baseline
Significant containment breach with multiple public exposures requiring multi-day MTF operations, large medical response, cleanup and legal remediation.
breach of containment cell multiple consumer exposures media/regulatory attention
🚨 Research Breakthrough Requiring Scale Up $5.3M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$1.5M vs baseline
R&D program expands to full-scale development and clinical trials for detection/neutralization requiring extra staff, equipment and lab time.
successful detection R&D need for expanded neutralization infrastructure
🚨 Catastrophic Breach $18.8M/yr
0.5% probability / year +$15.0M vs baseline
Widespread public exposure, large-scale casualties, major litigation and environmental remediation.
major breach with mass public exposure failure of neutralization and widespread contamination
👥 Personnel 25 total
Role Count Notes
Security Officer / Guard 12 [#13] Dedicated armed security detachment (8–12 per rotation) to provide 24/7 perimeter and in-room response; count reflects staffing on-site.
Nurse 6 [#6] Nursing staff for 24/7 catheter/IV care (2 nurses per shift across three shifts = 6 FTE).
Medical Officer 1 [#6] Physician oversight (0.5 FTE minimum; represented as one on-staff physician/medical officer).
Hazmat / Emergency Responder 6 [#12] On-site rapid-response hazmat team (4–6 personnel); staffing chosen at upper end for continuous readiness.
📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line-item ranges and operational prescriptions but many items (R&D outcomes, breach frequency, reserve sizing) remain uncertain; estimates use mid-to-conservative assumptions so confidence is medium.
