⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $6.9M/yr

🚨 Minor Incident $7.2M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$300K vs baseline
Localized incident (equipment damage, short-term power loss, several severe exposures) requiring emergency repairs, extra amnestics, legal/PR response and increased medical care.

🚨 Major Breach $9.7M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$2.8M vs baseline
Significant containment failure or aggressive manifestation causing civilian harm, prolonged shutdown of public access, major legal/settlement costs, large-scale emergency response and expedited R&D.

Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 15 [#7] MTF-Theta-60 operatives working undercover as prison staff (rotational to avoid burnout); headcount aligned to the assumed loaded salary budget.
Research Scientist / Analyst 3 [#6] Linguists, signal analysts and software engineers for transcription/filtering and triage (human-in-the-loop).
Tour Staff / Civilian Monitor 4 [#8] On-site personnel supervising tours, controlling civilians and maintaining the cover narrative (night-shift premiums included).
Medical Officer 4 [#9] Doctors/nurses to administer Class G amnestics, monitor adverse effects and provide emergency care.
📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line-item ranges allowing mid-point estimates, but large uncertainty remains around per-subject amnestic usage (#10), tour throughput, and the frequency/severity of anomalous escalations; contingency and scenario estimates reflect that uncertainty.
