Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $460K/yr
89.0% probability / year
Normal, uneventful year with planned recurring monitoring, occasional checks, legal retainer and minimal ongoing costs.
no repeated anomalies limited monitoring only
🚨 Minor Incident $671K/yr
8.0% probability / year +$211K vs baseline
A localized reappearance or related event requiring deployment of field teams, exhumation, expanded forensics and additional amnestic/witness mitigation.
temporary anomalous activity need for exhumation and forensic testing amnestic administration
🚨 Indefinite Closure $545K/yr
2.0% probability / year +$86K vs baseline
Anomalous activity repeats or persists, requiring escalated annual security, higher compensation to operator, and intensified research.
repeated anomalous properties extended cemetery closure intensified monitoring
🚨 Research Breakthrough Requiring Scale Up $760K/yr
1.0% probability / year +$300K vs baseline
Discovery or research need forces major scale-up: expanded lab facilities, long-term studies and additional specialist hires/equipment.
significant research lead need to house/experiment on anomalous material

Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 2 [#2] Two guards for night coverage (used to compute the staff_wages recurring line item at ~$80k/yr fully burdened).
📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are medium confidence: many line items have wide ranges and are event-driven (e.g., amnestics, exhumation, specialist fees). The source notes provide ranges but not exact staffing models; scenario probabilities rely on judgment about recurrence likelihood.
