⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $15.9M/yr
82.5% probability / year
Normal operational year with scheduled expeditions, routine maintenance, and no major containment incidents.
routine_apertures scheduled_expeditions no_major_incidents
🚨 Minor Incident $16.4M/yr
15.0% probability / year +$500K vs baseline
Localized containment incident requiring extra medical/amnestics/repairs and a short emergency response.

🚨 Major Breach $20.9M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$5.0M vs baseline
Significant containment failure or contested apprehension requiring large-scale emergency response, asset mobilization, and extended R&D push.

🚨 Catastrophic Breach $115.9M/yr
0.5% probability / year +$100.0M vs baseline
ZK-Class or near-failure scenario requiring full use of emergency reserves, international-scale response and potentially long-term recovery efforts.

Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 36 MTF-Ρ-14 operational roster and rotation pool; fully loaded cost basis used in staff_wages (#4).
Research Scientist / Technician 10 Dedicated Frith research team (8–12 FTEs assumed; midpoint used) included in staff_wages (#15).
Local Rapid-Response / Field Sealing Team Members 12 Field sealing teams (2–4 teams assumed; midpoint staffing used) accounted for in staff_wages (#3).
📋 Confidence Notes
Costs are based on analyst ranges and many novel technical unknowns (Frith radiation properties, containment difficulty); large line-item ranges and contingency-level items (massive reserves, research program) produce low confidence in precise totals.
