Initial capital and setup are dominated by property acquisition and optional site conversion, producing a one-time bill of roughly $42.1M; ongoing annual operations are approximately $5.97M driven by security staffing, dedicated MTF readiness, and research/monitoring costs.

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $6.0M/yr
83.0% probability / year
Normal year with no major incidents; regular operations and maintenance only.
steady containment routine research and monitoring
🚨 Minor Incident $6.5M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$500K vs baseline
Localized breach or sensor/lock failure requiring short deployments and equipment replacement.
sensor/tamper failure small containment breach limited public exposure/complaints
🚨 Major Breach $13.0M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$7.0M vs baseline
Significant containment failure requiring extended operations, large-scale remediation, and possible public exposure mitigation.
forced entry/breach mass exposure amnestic-resistant civilian escape
🚨 Site Conversion $21.0M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$15.0M vs baseline
O5 Council approves conversion of the property into a formal Foundation Site (capital upgrade year).
O5 site upgrade decision need for dedicated on-site long-term containment
👥 Personnel 21 total
Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 10 [#4] 24/7 posted security guards (three shifts) accounted for in staff_wages.
Specialized MTF / Rapid Response Team 8 [#5] Dedicated anomaly response personnel (on-call/standby) accounted for in staff_wages and MTF ops.
Site Director / Administrative Staff 3 [#22] Site director, admin, HR and associated personnel overhead (clearance processing/payroll) included in staff_wages.
📋 Confidence Notes
Many line items are estimated from broad market ranges (real-estate, vehicle procurement, contingency appetite) and anomaly-specific technical needs (unknown anomalous physics, amnestic resistance) increase uncertainty. Core recurring staffing and monitoring costs are better constrained, but contingency and breach costs remain highly uncertain.
