One-time setup
$1.1M
Annual recurring
$2.3M
Personnel
12
Initial one-time setup is approximately $1.09M driven by sensors, vehicles, command post and lab setup; annual operating costs are roughly $2.33M/year driven by personnel, rapid-response retainer, cover/legal costs, and contingency/reserve funding.

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $2.3M/yr
83.0% probability / year
Normal year with routine patrols, monitoring, research and standard contingency reserves; no major incidents.
no major incidents routine maintenance scheduled training and research
🚨 Minor Incident $2.4M/yr
15.0% probability / year +$75K vs baseline
Localized incident (civilian exposure, small MTF deployment, targeted legal/PR response) requiring modest emergency expenditures.
civilian amnestic treatments small MTF deployment PR/legal surge
🚨 Major Breach $3.5M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$1.2M vs baseline
Significant containment escalation or public exposure requiring large deployments, legal payouts, possible extraction and emergency infrastructure.
major public exposure large MTF operation extraction / captive life‑support activation
👥 Personnel 12 total
Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 8 [#1] Eight full‑time guards to maintain two on duty continuously (shift coverage and leave/turnover).
Site Supervisor / Security Liaison 1 [#2] Senior on‑site supervisor coordinating schedules, incidents and regional assets.
Research Scientist 2 [#11] Dedicated marine/multi‑disciplinary scientists for behavioral and specimen analysis.
Research Technician 1 [#11] Technical support for field sampling, lab prep and equipment operation.
📋 Confidence Notes
Line items are explicit and granular so cost magnitudes are reasonably well‑anchored; uncertainty remains around access frequency, optional extraction/mitigation choices and local scale (shoreline length), so medium confidence is appropriate.
