⚡ Cost Scenarios

📊 Baseline (baseline) $1.4M/yr

94.5% probability / year

Normal year with no major incidents; routine monitoring, staffing, and maintenance only.

no breaches routine operations periodic monitoring and training

🚨 Minor Incident $1.6M/yr

5.0% probability / year +$174K vs baseline

Localized incident requiring limited emergency response, forensic follow-up, small PR/legal effort and temporary increased monitoring.

unauthorized exhumation attempt localized containment incident small public exposure

🚨 Major Breach $3.2M/yr

0.5% probability / year +$1.8M vs baseline

Significant containment breach or public exposure requiring cemetery acquisition, large PR/legal campaign, relocation, extensive investigations and possible experimental neutralization.

👥 Personnel 15 total

Role	Count	Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent	8	[#4] Rotating on-site guards to cover 24/7 shifts (estimate aligned to the security recurring line item).
Containment Specialist / On-Call Team	4	[#5] Higher-clearance rapid response specialists and medics maintained on-call (salaries included in staff_wages).

📋 Confidence Notes

Analyst notes provide ranges for most line items allowing midpoint estimates, but several items (contingency reserves, experimental neutralization, cemetery acquisition) are highly variable and scenario-dependent, so overall confidence is medium.
