Estimated initial capital costs are approximately $447,700 driven by HVAC/suppression integration, chamber fit-out, contingency reserves and an in-house incinerator; ongoing annual costs are roughly $352,100/yr driven primarily by staff wages, candle consumables, contingency fund, medical/security and ongoing research/monitoring.

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $352K/yr
91.0% probability / year
Normal, uneventful year with daily rituals executed as prescribed and no significant incidents.
scheduled_daily_rituals no containment incidents
🚨 Minor Incident $385K/yr
8.0% probability / year +$33K vs baseline
Minor containment-related incident (failed ignition, small uncontrolled fire, localized contamination) requiring emergency repairs, cleanup and limited amnestic/medical response.
failed_ignition small_fire_or_spill localized_contamination
🚨 Major Breach $852K/yr
1.0% probability / year +$500K vs baseline
Significant containment failure, large-scale contamination or fire requiring major remediation, legal/amnestic interventions and drawdown of contingency/escrow funds.

Role Count Notes
Thaumaturgic Operator 1 [#11] Single daily operator with thaumaturgical capability (primary wage included in staff_wages).
Security Officer / MTF Agent 1 [#15] One dedicated security guard or equivalent roving security assignment (wage included in staff_wages).
📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are low-confidence due to unknown object class, unclear anomalous hazard magnitude and multiple alternate containment options (contract disposal vs in-house incinerator, fit-out vs leased space). Costs are based on analyst notes and midpoint assumptions for wide ranges.
