⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $1.1M/yr
94.3% probability / year
Normal year with no major incidents: ongoing containment, monitoring, staff wages and routine maintenance.
no breach routine maintenance normal research cadence
🚨 Minor Incident $1.2M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$75K vs baseline
Limited containment breach or contamination event requiring cleanup, overtime, medical checks and legal/PR activity.
small contamination release localized cleanup staff exposure evaluation
🚨 Major Breach $3.1M/yr
0.5% probability / year +$2.0M vs baseline
Significant containment failure requiring full response team deployment, temporary relocation, extensive remediation, and legal settlements.
physical breach civilian exposure large-scale remediation
🚨 Escalation Reclassification $2.6M/yr
0.2% probability / year +$1.4M vs baseline
Anomalous outputs or behavior require reclassification and immediate major upgrade of containment (one-time capital expenditure) plus higher recurring operating costs.
production of hazardous mass/organics reclassification to higher containment tier

Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 6 [#8] Continuous 24/7 guard coverage (2 per shift × 3 shifts).
Research Scientist 2 [#10] Two researchers assigned to monitoring, logging and analysis (salaries+benefits included in staff_wages).
📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are compiled from analyst ranges and midpoints; many line items have wide ranges (equipment and contingency) and the anomaly's unpredictability (material production) adds uncertainty, but containment needs and staffing levels are well-understood.
