⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $19.0M/yr
88.0% probability / year
Normal operational year with no major incidents; contains ongoing integration and operations at planned throughput (~100 arrivals/yr).
steady_arrivals no breaches routine operations
🚨 Minor Incident $24.0M/yr
8.0% probability / year +$5.0M vs baseline
Localized medical/memetic incident or small breach requiring surge staffing, emergency quarantine, limited settlements and equipment replacement.
localized outbreak small-scale breach targeted legal settlement
🚨 Major Breach $69.0M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$50.0M vs baseline
Significant containment failure or memetic leak requiring mass quarantine, major legal/diplomatic settlements, international operations and large-scale remediation.
mass exposure international legal liability large-scale evacuation
🚨 Political Exposure $39.0M/yr
3.0% probability / year +$20.0M vs baseline
Managed declassification attempt goes poorly or an unauthorized disclosure causes extensive political/diplomatic crisis and major PR/legal expense.
failed declassification major leak diplomatic fallout

Role Count Notes
Integration Case Manager / Social Worker / Program Manager / Administrative Staff 30 [#7] Matches Integration Committee FTE estimate (30 FTE) at listed loaded salary assumptions.
Security Officer / MTF Agent 40 [#13] Rotational armed guard and quick reaction teams (approx. 40 personnel) per analyst estimate.
Research Scientist 10 [#22] Research program staffing (assumed ~10 researchers to match $1.2M staff budget).
Psychiatrist / Mental Health Clinician 5 [#11] Mental-health staffing to deliver counseling and monitoring (~5 clinicians to match $400k budget).
Medical Officer / Lab Technician / Radiology Technician 3 [#8] Screening and medical staff to run intake exams and tests (assumed small team consistent with $200k/year screening staff overhead).
Database / IT Operations Staff 2 [#6] Personnel for DB operation, archival handling and records requests included in recurring DB operation budget.
📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line-item estimates and clear assumptions (100 arrivals/yr baseline), but uncertainties remain around throughput scaling, anomaly risk profile (memetic/xenobiological unknowns), and political/diplomatic exposure frequency, so estimates are order-of-magnitude with moderate confidence.
