One-time setup is approximately $762,000 driven by cell modification, shielding, specialized systems and contingency reserves; ongoing annual operations are about $1,429,300/yr, driven primarily by 24/7 non-lethal security payroll and a full-time research team plus ongoing testing and site overhead.

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $1.4M/yr

🚨 Minor Incident $1.5M/yr
12.0% probability / year +$120K vs baseline
Localized incident requiring overtime, limited repairs, additional amnestic doses and short-term escalation.

🚨 Major Breach $2.0M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$600K vs baseline
Containment breach requiring full incident response, major repairs, large-scale amnestics/legal actions and temporary staffing surge.

🚨 Political Exposure $1.8M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$400K vs baseline
Disclosure or media/legal exposure requiring intensive PR, legal settlements, expanded amnestic campaigns and cover operations.

Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 8 [#4] Eight full-time non-lethal-trained guards to provide 24/7 rotation as specified.
Research Scientist 3 [#8] Project lead plus two researchers (portion of research team salaries).
Laboratory Technician 2 [#8] Two lab techs to support experiments and equipment operation.
Educational Staff 1 [#12] In-house educator/tutor resource for subject schooling and juvenile care.
📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide itemized cost estimates and midpoints for most line items, so budget arithmetic is straightforward; uncertainty remains around frequency/severity of breaches, site-specific reuse of existing infrastructure, and potential escalation if the anomaly affects remote/autonomous weapons, hence medium confidence.
