⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $18.2M/yr
65.0% probability / year
Normal operational year with no major incidents; ongoing monitoring, cover, research and readiness expenditures only.
no large strikes affecting civilians operations remain routine
🚨 Minor Incident $18.7M/yr
30.0% probability / year +$500K vs baseline
Localized lightning strike causing one or a few casualties or property damage requiring forensic response, emergency services, and increased local PR/cover operations.
single casualty within 80 km localized media attention targeted forensic & medical response
🚨 Major Breach $28.2M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$10.0M vs baseline
Multiple casualties, infrastructure fires, or widespread media/political attention requiring large emergency operations, significant payouts, and possible escalation of containment posture.
multiple simultaneous strikes major fire / infrastructure loss national media / multi‑jurisdictional scrutiny

Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 12 [#2, #22] 24/7 armed artifact watch: 9guards per shift plus supervisors/relief/administration; hazard pay included in recurring staff costs.
📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates use midpoints of wide analyst ranges; many line items are policy/option choices (relocation vs burial vs on‑site posture) and per‑incident costs are highly variable, so medium confidence is appropriate.
