Expected annual
$11.2M
One-time setup
$4.0M
Annual recurring
$11.0M
Personnel

Initial one-time setup for a regional program is modest (~$4.0M) driven by lab setup, amnestic stockpile and vehicles/equipment; recurring annual costs are substantial (~$10.54M/yr) driven by staff wages, R&D, outreach/public information, contingency and reintegration programs.

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $11.0M/yr
33.0% probability / year
Normal operational year with routine responses, regular R&D and outreach; no major portal expeditions or large public contagion events.
steady incidence of isolated cases no large-scale memetic spread no expeditionary missions
🚨 Minor Incident $10.7M/yr
60.0% probability / year +$-300000 vs baseline
One or more localized incidents requiring elevated response: multiple forensic sanitizations, extra legal/cover actions and increased per-incident deployments.
cluster of failed amnestics several public incidents requiring forensics/legal work
🚨 Major Portal Expedition $14.0M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$3.0M vs baseline
A disappearance or breach leads to an expeditionary mission to investigate or recover anomalous sites beyond baseline containment, plus surge research and PR response.
final-goal portal activation evidence pointing to recoverable anomalous site
🚨 Public Contagion Outbreak $22.5M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$11.5M vs baseline
Widespread memetic spread among target demographics forcing national-scale public campaigns, large-scale outreach, many more safehouse beds and emergency reintegration capacity.
viral spread on major platforms large clusters of affected youth public incidents exposing the phenomenon

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed per-item ranges enabling reasonable budgeting, but major uncertainties remain around incidence rates, likelihood of portal/expedition events and scale of public contagion; those uncertainties justify a medium confidence rating.
