One-time capital and capability buildouts are approximately $2.11M, with recurring annual operations roughly $2.675M. The largest recurring drivers are detainee housing/operations and additional security/research staffing; major one-time drivers are lab buildouts, contingency reserve, and high-fidelity sensor/robotic systems.

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $2.7M/yr
86.5% probability / year
Normal operational year with no major incidents; standard monitoring, research, and containment activities proceed.
no major manifestations routine oversight and maintenance
🚨 Minor Incident $3.1M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$400K vs baseline
Localized escalation requiring targeted emergency response: forensic reconstruction, limited amnestic campaign, contractor mobilization and overtime.
localized breach lost/damaged files small-scale memetic spread among staff
🚨 Major Breach $4.2M/yr
3.0% probability / year +$1.5M vs baseline
Significant containment failure or wider manifestation requiring multi-day emergency mobilization, multi-site coordination, and large-scale amnestic/rehabilitation effort.
multi-unit manifestation widespread staff exposure public/record loss
🚨 Catastrophic Breach $7.7M/yr
0.5% probability / year +$5.0M vs baseline
Rare, large-scale memetic event requiring protracted national/international response, mass amnestics, site rebuilds, and long-term remediation.
site-wide memetic cascade multi-site simultaneous manifestations public exposure

Role Count Notes
Security Officer / Guard 6 [#10] Six additional FTE guards added for redundancy and anti-apathy coverage (fully-loaded cost basis as provided).
Research Scientist 3 [#13] Dedicated research team: 1lead researcher + 2 specialists (salaries reflected in staff_wages).
Secure Archivist / Records Manager 1 [#20] One records/archivist position to prevent future 'FILE LOST' events (salary reflected in staff_wages).
📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line-item estimates for most categories, so arithmetic confidence is moderate; however the object’s memetic/contagion properties and potential for multi-site scaling introduce significant epistemic uncertainty, preventing a high-confidence rating.
