Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $17.1M/yr
88.0% probability / year
Normal operational year with no containment incidents; routine maintenance, staffing and planned R&D only.

🚨 Minor Incident $18.1M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$1.0M vs baseline
Localized contamination or small-scale SRA issue requiring targeted response, medical checks and limited legal/PR action.

🚨 Major Breach $23.1M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$6.0M vs baseline
Significant containment failure or public exposure requiring large-scale remediation, replacement of SRA modules and heavy legal/PR costs.

Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 50 24/7 layered security staffing for perimeter and internal response (mapped to security payroll).
Research & Technical Staff 60 Researchers, engineers, machinists and technicians responsible for containment systems, SRA devices and ongoing R&D (blended into 'scientific & technical' payroll).
📋 Confidence Notes
Object class and key anomalous properties are unknown; many estimates are wide ranges (SRA devices, SCP-148 alloy behavior, beryllium handling). High uncertainty in incident probabilities and capital scope; figures are best-effort midpoints with recommended contingency.
