⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $41K/yr
93.0% probability / year
Normal, uneventful year with routine rotations, monitoring, sample collection and modest ongoing research.
routine_rotation scheduled_monitoring no_unusual_exposure
🚨 Minor Incident $61K/yr
5.0% probability / year +$20K vs baseline
Localized accidental public exposure or a small containment-related incident requiring limited amnestic treatment, emergency response overtime and extra testing.
accidental_public_viewing reported_unusual_music_in_public
🚨 Research Breakthrough Requiring Scale Up $66K/yr
2.0% probability / year +$25K vs baseline
Significant research result prompts expanded longitudinal study requiring more frequent relocations and much larger contracted research effort.

Role Count Notes
Site Coordinator / Administrator (part-time) 1 Part-time rotation coordinator (~0.1–0.2 FTE) whose salary is represented in staff_wages [#1]. Contract researchers and temporary handlers are funded under research/contracts and are not counted as permanent headcount here.
📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates were drawn directly from analyst line items with mid-point selections; many items are well-scoped (equipment, analyses) but some (frequency of moves, depth of ongoing research, contingency usage) remain uncertain, producing a medium confidence rating.
