Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $7.9M/yr
80.0% probability / year
Normal, uneventful year with routine maintenance, consumables, research and readiness budgets only.
no breaches routine maintenance only standard MTF posture
🚨 Minor Incident $8.4M/yr
15.0% probability / year +$500K vs baseline
Localized containment incident requiring emergency response, limited structural/parts replacement, short MTF deployment and PR/legal activity.
sedation failure or short-lived breach localized structural/lining repairs emergency MTF deployment (days-weeks)
🚨 Major Breach $12.9M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$5.0M vs baseline
Significant containment breach with extended MTF operations, major structural rebuild, large-scale replacement of anomalous components and possible scorched-earth operations or GoI engagements.
full containment breach destruction/damage of paratechnical components extended MTF deployment / emergency procurement from external parties
👥 Personnel 32 total
Role Count Notes
Veterinary / Biomedical Care 5 [#7] 1–2 senior vets + 2–3 vet technicians estimated to provide feeding, health monitoring and hazard on-call coverage. Headcount aligned to the salary pool allocated.
Engineer / Maintenance (Paratechnical) 4 [#8] Monthly maintenance team of 3–6 specialists; estimate uses 4 full-time paratechnical engineers reflected in maintenance labor budget.
Research Scientist / Level-5 Team 5 [#22] 3–6 senior researchers on restricted research and monitoring; headcount set at 5 to match the research team salary allocation.
Security Officer / MTF Agent 14 [#15] Core on-site guard complement (shift coverage) from the security staffing pool; portion of staff_wages allocated to front-line officers.
Security Supervisor / Control Room Officers 4 [#15] Supervisory officers and control-room staff included in security staffing estimates to manage shifts, access control and response coordination.
📋 Confidence Notes
Many line items involve high uncertainty (anomalous/parattechnical spare parts, GoI interactions, thaumaturgic fire mitigation and perception-cloaking upgrades). Estimates use midpoints of wide ranges; unknown contingencies could materially change both one-time and recurring totals.
