Annual recurring
$1.7M
Personnel
16
Initial one-time setup ~USD 1.15M driven by purchase/lease, contingency reserves, and shielding/equipment; annual recurring operations ~USD 1.67M driven by regional MTF readiness, on-site staffing, equipment attrition, and ongoing research/legal cover.

Cost Scenarios
📊
Baseline
(baseline)
$1.7M/yr
Normal year with no major incidents: routine operations, scheduled research visits, regular attrition and cover maintenance.
no breach
routine equipment attrition
standard research rotations
🚨
Minor Incident
$1.7M/yr
Small containment incident or operational losses (drone/robot lost or damaged, localized discovery requiring extra PR/legal work and replacement equipment).
drone/robot attrition
local curiosity / small media exposure
temporary spike in legal/PR payments
🚨
Major Breach
$2.4M/yr
Significant containment escalation requiring emergency response, use of contingency reserve, possible demolition/relocation, heavy legal costs and extended MTF deployment.
physical breach or hostile attention
large-scale equipment/system failure
medical emergency or missing personnel requiring recovery

Confidence Notes
Estimates are based on wide ranges in the analyst notes and significant operational uncertainty from the anomaly's interference with electronics; many items (local payoffs, MTF posture, contingency use) are situational and hard to precisely quantify.
