visible civilian property damage small number of injuries or exposure incidents
🚨 Major Breach $25.5M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$12.0M vs baseline
Large adverse year with civilian casualties, expensive legal settlements, media exposure and rapid expansion of liaison/response resources.

Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 16 [#13] 24/7 site guards, armed response capability and supervisors (salary assumptions ~ $40k–$45k each).
Remote Vehicle Operator 8 [#14] Trained operators for remote piloting/override and emergency manual control (6–12 operators range).

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide many line items and ranges enabling a reasoned estimate, but frequent wide ranges and high incident-dependence (legal settlements, liaison scale, casualty frequency) produce material uncertainty in recurring and scenario costs.
