⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $2.8M/yr
91.0% probability / year
Normal uneventful year with no major documentation breaches or large remediation events; regular testing and conditioning continues.

🚨 Minor Incident $3.1M/yr
8.0% probability / year +$300K vs baseline
Limited documentation contamination or small-scale staff exposure requiring extra amnestics, legal remediation, overtime, and audits.

Role Count Notes
Research Scientist / Memetics Researcher 3 [#3] Memetic researchers / cognitive scientists (2–4 FTE). Three FTEs assumed to produce the $650,000 recurring researcher line item.
Medical Officer / Emergency Response 3 [#4] On-call medical staff (2–3 dedicated personnel + shared ER). Three dedicated personnel assumed for budgeting (~$300,000/yr).
Security Officer / MTF Agent 6 [#5] Security & containment officers (4–8 dedicated guards). Six guards assumed (~$400,000/yr).
📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line-item ranges allowing midpoint-based estimates, but uncertainty remains due to the anomalous memetic behavior, variable research commitment, and incident frequency/severity assumptions.
