One-time setup
$2.8M
Annual recurring
$2.7M
Personnel
27
One-time setup is roughly $2.78M driven primarily by property acquisition, the bespoke Scranton–Lang limiter and associated specialized installations; recurring annual operating costs are about $2.70M/yr driven by security and clinical/research staffing plus specialized equipment maintenance.

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $2.7M/yr
85.0% probability / year
Normal year with no major incidents; routine operations, scheduled maintenance, and normal patient throughput.
no breaches routine maintenance only normal patient caseload
🚨 Minor Incident $2.9M/yr
12.0% probability / year +$200K vs baseline
Localized incident (e.g., minor limiter fault, small breach of protocol, an overexposure cluster) requiring extra amnestics, repairs, overtime and PR response.
minor limiter malfunction staff overexposure event small public attention requiring PR
🚨 Major Breach $4.7M/yr
3.0% probability / year +$2.0M vs baseline
Significant containment failure (e.g., limiter destruction/failure, major public exposure or structural damage) requiring replacement of bespoke hardware, emergency response, decommissioning/relocation costs and intensive PR/legal actions.
limiter catastrophic failure large-scale unauthorized access/fourth-floor exposure major public/political exposure
👥 Personnel 27 total
Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 12 [#6] 4 guards per shift × 3 shifts = 12 total for 24/7 on-site coverage.
Armed Rapid-Response / MTF Agent 6 [#7] On-call specialized response team (6 personnel used in costing).
Medical Officer / Psychiatrist 3 [#8] Two senior clinicians and one mental-health nurse/OR tech as specified.
Research Scientist 3 [#9] Two–four researchers; costing used 3 researchers/techs.
Administrative Staff 3 [#20] Reception/appointment admin (2) and one site manager/procurement/records manager approximated as 3 staff.
📋 Confidence Notes
Many line items are well-specified (staffing, routine supplies) but bespoke anomalous equipment (Scranton–Lang limiter) and property costs vary widely by region; contingency needs and incident probabilities are judgment-based, producing medium confidence.
