$2.1M
Annual recurring
$1.8M
Personnel

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $1.8M/yr
93.0% probability / year
Normal uneventful year with standard monitoring, routine testing, and no major incidents or R&D activation.
no breach no public exposure no R&D activation
🚨 Minor Incident $2.6M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$800K vs baseline
Localized containment incident or urgent temporal anomaly requiring emergency relocation/extra legal/PR and investigation.
containment compromise limited public exposure urgent relocation
🚨 Temporal R&D Program Initiated $7.3M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$5.5M vs baseline
Overwatch/management orders creation of an active temporal isolation/R&D program to mitigate propagation risk; large one-time R&D spending plus elevated operations.
evidence of timeline propagation Overwatch mandates active mitigation policy decision to fund R&D

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes are detailed with line-item estimates, so core recurring and one-time costs are reasonably well defined. Major uncertainty remains around speculative items (large temporal R&D, magnitude of public-exposure responses) which drive wide tails in one-time exposures, so overall confidence is medium.
