One-time setup
$11.3M
Annual recurring
$2.9M
Personnel

Initial one-time setup is approximately $11.35M driven primarily by large-scale amnestic/cover campaigns and research/setup costs; recurring annual costs are about $2.91M/yr driven by staff wages, ongoing research/monitoring, and information-control (legal/PR) operations.

🚨 Minor Incident $3.7M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$800K vs baseline
Localized leak or discovery requiring a targeted emergency amnestic sweep, extra PR/legal response, and travel for field teams.

🚨 Major Breach $8.9M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$6.0M vs baseline
Significant exposure that forces a broad regional purge and extended legal/PR campaign.

Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 9 [#7] 24/7 on-site guards (3 per shift, overlap/leave) as specified in notes.
Research Scientist 4 [#8] Dedicated anomaly researchers to run experiments and coordinate with central labs.
Technician / Maintenance 2 [#8] Technical staff to maintain non-digital systems and process analog recordings.
Field Amnestic Team 4 [#10] Mobile team to administer amnestics, coordinate memory purges, and handle witnesses (staffing sized to match budget).
Medical Officer / Psychologist 2 [#9] Onsite/consulting medical and psychological support for post-exposure care, amnestic administration oversight and trauma counseling.
📋 Confidence Notes
Line items are well-specified in the analyst notes (personnel, engineering, and amnestic costs) so totals are reasonably grounded; large uncertainties remain around scale decisions (targeted vs province-wide purge), frequency of re-amnestication, and long-term research scaling, producing a medium confidence rating.
