🚨 Catastrophic Breach $1.3M/yr
0.5% probability / year +$1.0M vs baseline

Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 0.2 [#6] Incremental security liaison on duty (0.2 FTE) accounted for in staff wages.
Research Technician 0.5 [#9] 0.5 FTE research tech support included as personnel portion of research_and_monitoring and staff wages.
📋 Confidence Notes
Containment and routine costs are well-specified by the analyst notes, but incident and contingency costs (medical, legal, large-scale retroactive effects) are highly uncertain and scenario-dependent, yielding medium overall confidence.
