⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $8.6M/yr
87.5% probability / year
Normal year with no major incidents; routine operations and scheduled maintenance only.
no breach no large-scale memetic escalation
🚨 Minor Incident $9.1M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$500K vs baseline
Localized containment anomaly requiring limited on-site remediation, targeted equipment replacement, and increased legal/PR activity.
localized sensor/robot failure small-scale antimemetic perturbation
🚨 Major Breach $11.6M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$3.0M vs baseline
Significant containment breach requiring MTF deployment, substantial equipment replacement, extended forensic recovery, and partial site lockdown.
large-scale structural or systems failure sustained antimemetic spread requiring tactical response
🚨 Catastrophic Breach $28.6M/yr
0.5% probability / year +$20.0M vs baseline
Severe escalation requiring large-scale evacuation, demolition or termination options, full activation of contingency reserve and external emergency contracting.
uncontrolled antimemetic cascade requirement for area denial / demolition
👥 Personnel 28 total
Role Count Notes
Security Officer / Guard 15 [#8] 12–16 guards across three shifts plus supervisors; count chosen to match recurring security payroll estimate.
Research Scientist 10 [#10] 8–12 FTE anomalous-physics / memetics / cognitive specialists; midpoint used to match research payroll.
Site Director / Executive Staff 1 [#30] Program director / executive oversight included in program overhead.
Administrative Staff 2 [#30] Procurement, HR, and administrative support included in program overhead.
📋 Confidence Notes
The object is antimemetic and Keter-class with deleted files and reality-instability described in the source; containment needs and incident probabilities are highly uncertain, so cost estimates are order-of-magnitude with low confidence.
