One-time capital costs for containment retrofit and specialized systems are estimated at approximately $1.18M, driven by suppression, HVAC, transport, and instrumentation. Recurring annual costs are roughly $1.24M/yr, driven mainly by personnel, reserves, and ongoing mitigation (filters, consumables, medical, and contingency reserve).

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $1.2M/yr
87.5% probability / year
Normal operational year with no significant containment incidents; routine maintenance, staffing, and research continue as planned.
no incidents routine maintenance scheduled research
🚨 Minor Incident $1.3M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$50K vs baseline
Small internal combustion event or localized failure causing repairs, extra cleaning, limited amnestic use and overtime.
localized flame event minor sensor/suppression activation limited staff injury or contamination
🚨 Major Breach $1.7M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$500K vs baseline
Containment breach requiring chamber rebuild/major repairs, large-scale amnesticization, PR/legal response and replacement of equipment.
structural failure suppression system failure public exposure requiring mass amnestics
🚨 Catastrophic Breach $2.7M/yr
0.5% probability / year +$1.5M vs baseline
Severe containment failure with facility damage, extensive public exposure, full equipment replacement, extended evacuation and major PR/legal costs.
facility-scale fire large public incident loss of containment and long-term remediation
👥 Personnel 8 total
Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 6 [#6] 24/7 coverage: 2guards per shift, three shifts = 6 full-time guards (salaries + benefits included in staff_wages).
Research Scientist / Technician 2 [#7] 1–2 full-time researchers/technicians for physiochemical characterization, observations and experiments (included in staff_wages).
📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line-item ranges allowing reasonable estimates; however incident frequencies, chosen reserve sizing, and whether some services are contracted or in-house introduce uncertainty, so confidence is medium.
