One-time retrofit and optional research buildout (~$676.5k) cover structural upgrades and conditional lab expansion; baseline annual costs (~$1.54M) are driven by security staffing, a large contingency/reserve, legal/cover-up spending, MRT readiness, and ongoing research/monitoring.

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $1.5M/yr
65.0% probability / year
Normal year with routine monitoring, occasional small incidents handled within budget and no major exposures or policy changes.
routine_monitoring isolated_births_handled_covertly
🚨 Minor Incident $1.7M/yr
30.0% probability / year +$200K vs baseline
Several small-to-moderate incidents in a year (hospital notifications, a few field retrievals, modest legal/amnestic flows) requiring increased deployments and cover-up costs.

🚨 Major Exposure $3.5M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$2.0M vs baseline
Significant public exposure or policy shift (large leak, litigation, or decision to actively study/scale containment) requiring mass deployments, heavy legal settlements and an expensive scale-up of facilities/research.

Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 4 [#4] Incremental perimeter security staffing (4 FTEs) included in staff wages.
Research Scientist 3 [#10] Epidemiology / data-monitoring team (2-5 persons) salaries included in staff wages; 3 FTE used as baseline.
📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide clear line items and ranges but incident frequency and potential policy changes are highly uncertain; several large ranges and conditional buildouts reduce precision.
