⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $7.4M/yr
88.0% probability / year
Normal year with no major spread events; routine operations, monitoring and planned maintenance only.
no new infestations outside quarantine routine monitoring only
🚨 Minor Incident $7.9M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$450K vs baseline
Localized spread requiring demolition of a single additional property, overtime, and extra disposal/cleanup.
single-house infestation outside quarantine limited demolition and additional sampling
🚨 Major Spread $17.4M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$10.0M vs baseline
Significant outbreak requiring large-scale demolition, property buyouts, emergency hires, major remediation and legal/outreach costs.
multi-property infestation activation of emergency reserve and large-scale demolition
👥 Personnel 45 total
Role Count Notes
Biological Containment Personnel 30 [#1] Ten on-site at all times; 3 shifts → ~30 FTEs.
Security Officer / MTF Agent 12 [#2] Dedicated perimeter/security staff for 24/7 coverage and rapid response.
Senior Containment Scientist 3 [#3] Lead microbiologists and containment supervisors.
📋 Confidence Notes
Staffing levels, containment needs (BSL-3), and many recurring categories are specified in the notes and SCP text, supporting moderate confidence. Several line items used range midpoints (property prices, demolition counts, insurance and amnestic program costs) and outbreak-scale costs are highly uncertain, which reduces confidence to medium.
