Initial one-time setup is dominated by an emergency recontainment reserve and equipment/setup costs (~$230k); routine annual operations (monitoring, therapy, stipends, contingency) run about $136k/year, driven mainly by twice-weekly therapy and a standing contingency allocation.

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $136K/yr
94.0% probability / year
Normal year with no anomalous reactivation or major incidents; routine monitoring, therapy, and contingency funding maintained.
no transmission activity routine checks only regular therapy and admin
🚨 Minor Incident $151K/yr
5.0% probability / year +$15K vs baseline
Limited anomalous activity or false-positive transmission requiring targeted response (local rechecks, short MTF visit, temporary shielding/deployment of portable Faraday equipment), limited damage.
brief radio transmissions localized reinstatement signs non-violent protocol breaches
🚨 Major Recontainment $436K/yr
1.0% probability / year +$300K vs baseline
Significant reinstatement or transmission requiring full rapid-response recontainment (MTF mobilization, extended operations, sedation/capture gear, temporary holding, extensive follow-up testing).
sustained anomalous transmissions subject becomes mobile or dangerous evidence of reinstated properties

Role Count Notes
Research Scientist 1 Primary researcher / case lead (Researcher Mina Hargrove); maps to monitoring, liaison, and some screening duties [#6, #11].
Technician / Research Assistant 1 Performs monthly checks, cleaning, spectrum sweeps, and equipment handling; maps to monthly checks and anomalous-screening labor [#2, #6, #4].
Medical Officer / Site Medical Staff 1 Performs monthly physical and mental evaluations and handles routine medical consumables; maps to medical evaluations, meds, and staff psychological support [#7, #9, #20].
📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates derived directly from analyst notes with explicit line-item values; medium confidence because several items (emergency reserve use, probability of incidents, equipment selection) are order-of-magnitude and incident probabilities are subjective.
