⚡ Cost Scenarios

📊 Baseline (baseline) $5.1M/yr

91.0% probability / year

Normal year with routine operations, no major containment incidents.

no breach routine maintenance and scheduled research

🚨 Minor Incident $5.4M/yr

8.0% probability / year +$250K vs baseline

Localized containment incident or staff exposure requiring treatment and limited repairs/MTF deployment.

small containment breach staff exposure requiring medical/psych treatment localized structural or equipment repairs

🚨 Major Breach $10.1M/yr

1.0% probability / year +$5.0M vs baseline

Significant containment failure or SRA failure causing major structural damage, mass exposures, or public exposure.

SRA failure or coordinated override major facility damage public exposure requiring mass amnestics

👥 Personnel 10 total

Role	Count	Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent	6	[#7] Six guards for 24/7 coverage (three shifts) to perform chamber checks and escort duties.
Technician / Engineer	3	[#8] Three trained technicians for SRA activation/deactivation, calibrations and daily inspections (24/7 on-call rotation).

📋 Confidence Notes

Line-item recurring costs and staffing are reasonably well-defined from analyst notes, but the dominant SRA capital cost and frequency/severity of reality-warp incidents are uncertain, producing moderate confidence in totals.
