⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $6.8M/yr
85.0% probability / year
Normal year with no major incidents; routine operations, monitoring, and occasional captures handled under standard budgets.

🚨 Minor Incident $7.0M/yr
12.0% probability / year +$200K vs baseline
Occasional roadside attack or recovery that requires extra forensic work, targeted capture operations, and increased legal/cover activities.
single_capture_event forensic_cleanup local_media_attention
🚨 Major Breach $9.3M/yr
3.0% probability / year +$2.5M vs baseline
Significant containment failure or exposure requiring emergency civil works, large-scale recovery, litigation, and major upgrades.

Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 34 [#4] Shift guards, supervisors, and dispatchers disguised as highway patrol — staffed 24/7; count derived from payroll estimate.
Research Scientist 10 [#25] Biologists/xenobiologists/veterinarians dedicated to containment research and specimen study; count derived from research payroll estimate.
📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are midpoints of wide analyst ranges; physical containment and payroll costs are well-understood but many items (civil works, advanced instrumentation, contingency needs for non-carbon biology) remain uncertain, so confidence is medium.
