Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $8.3M/yr
78.0% probability / year
Normal year with routine operations, scheduled research, regular fieldwork tempo, and no major incidents or breaches.
no breaches routine field recoveries scheduled research activity
🚨 Minor Incident $8.6M/yr
15.0% probability / year +$250K vs baseline
Localized containment incident or elevated field recovery tempo requiring MTF deployment, repairs and additional amnestic/witness response.
small containment breach increased sightings requiring amnestics short-term MTF deployments
🚨 Major Breach $10.8M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$2.5M vs baseline
Significant breach or public exposure event requiring large-scale response, facility repairs, legal action and possible euthanasia/replacement.
facility breach affecting multiple instances mass public sightings/exposure prolonged multi-day MTF operations
🚨 Research Breakthrough Requiring Scale Up $9.3M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$1.0M vs baseline
Decision to scale up active neurotelepathy research, increasing recurring research operations and associated specialist staffing.
approved large-scale neurotech program procurement of specialized imaging/recording campaigns

Role Count Notes
Primate Veterinarian 3 [#8] On-site primate veterinarians for surgery, anesthesia, and emergency care (2–3 vets per analyst notes; modeled as 3).
Veterinary Technician / Assistant 4 [#8] Vet techs and assistants for post-op care, sedation monitoring and daily medical tasks (modeled as 4).
Animal Caretaker / Primate Keeper 8 [#9] Dedicated keepers for feeding, cleaning, enrichment and daily husbandry for 68 instances (staffing level consistent with analyst salary estimate).
Research Scientist / Lab Technician 6 [#16, #32] Research staff funded under research budget for genetics/pathology/cognitive studies (modeled as 4 scientists + 2 techs to match recurring research budget).
📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes are detailed and map cleanly to observable containment items (facility, MTF, research, IDCR), enabling medium confidence. Wide per-line item ranges and optional high-end research create uncertainty in mid/long-term recurring estimates, preventing a high-confidence rating.
