⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $774K/yr
92.0% probability / year
Normal year with scheduled relocations twice per year, routine scans, maintenance, training, and no containment incidents.
scheduled relocations routine monitoring regular training/maintenance
🚨 Minor Incident $924K/yr
7.0% probability / year +$150K vs baseline
Limited unauthorized access or tampering, or small-scale infoallergenic exposure requiring targeted response and additional amnestic treatments.
container tampering detected localized exposure to one or a few personnel small-scale forensic/amnestic response
🚨 Major Breach $2.0M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$1.2M vs baseline
Significant breach or information release requiring large-scale amnestic deployment, public cover-up operations, quarantine, and potential long-term containment escalation.
widespread infoallergenic exposure loss of location secrecy / public exposure container destruction or mass unauthorized dissemination

Role Count Notes
MAUDE Officer / Program Manager 1 [#6] Senior MAUDE officer responsible for location assignments, approvals, and oversight.
Memetics / Infohazard Specialist 1 [#7] Specialist for memetic assessment, handling protocols, and ongoing oversight (0.5–1.0 FTE equivalent).
Imaging / Scan Operator 1 [#8] Technician/operator for non-invasive scans, imaging runs, and contracted scan coordination.

📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates derived from analyst ranges; many line items have wide ranges (notably contingency/reserve and specialist staffing). Uncertainty in frequency of incidents and required R&D increases variance, so confidence is medium.
