🚨 Minor Incident $1.5M/yr
15.0% probability / year +$150K vs baseline
Multiple relocation events and elevated media attention requiring extra airlift usage, overtime, extra amnestics/medical administration, and expanded PR/legal effort.

🚨 Major Breach $2.4M/yr
3.0% probability / year +$1.0M vs baseline
Mass relocation or widely disseminated public incident causing use of emergency contingency fund, major litigation/settlements, large-scale amnestic operations, and replacement/repair costs.

Role Count Notes
Watch Technician 3 [#3] Three watch technicians covering shifts for continuous monitoring and feed verification.
Security Officer / Guard 2 [#3] Two access-control guards responsible for alarmed access control and physical security of the storage unit.

📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are order-of-magnitude only; major sensitivities include unknown relocation frequency, geographic dispersion of events, and policy decision whether Dr. Callaway is detained. Many per-event costs are highly variable and contingent on scenario details, reducing confidence.
