⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $7.2M/yr
94.5% probability / year
Normal operational year with no activation, breach, or major research surge.
routine operations scheduled research no incidents
🚨 Minor Incident $7.7M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$500K vs baseline
Localized activation/containment event requiring on-site emergency response, temporary quarantine, increased diagnostics and PR; limited personnel exposure.
localized animation/command event limited contamination requiring decon small public detection requiring PR
🚨 Major Breach $27.2M/yr
0.5% probability / year +$20.0M vs baseline
Significant containment failure with wider contamination/epidemiological risk, major breach response, mass quarantine, large-scale countermeasure deployment and legal/compensation costs.

Role Count Notes
Research Scientist 6 Lead scientific staff for biological characterization and experiment design (salaries included in staff_wages).
Arcana Researcher / Occult Specialist 2 Specialized arcana operators and analysts for Derived Arcana research and controlled experiments.
Microbiologist / Virologist 4 BSL-level lab staff for pathogen handling, sequencing and countermeasure R&D.
Containment Technician 6 Technical staff for vault maintenance, remote manipulators, decon procedures and daily containment tasks.
Security Officer / MTF Agent 8 Armed security teams, perimeter monitoring and access control (wages portion included in staff_wages).

📋 Confidence Notes
Significant uncertainty due to anomalous Arcana effects, variable posture choices (on-site BSL-4 build vs contracting), and R&D/arcana suppression unknowns; ranges and bespoke engineering introduce high variance in both one-time and recurring costs.
