Estimated one-time setup costs are approximately $3.94M driven by property acquisition, forensic processing, initial cover/hush reserves and lab setup; recurring annual costs run about $2.166M driven primarily by security staffing, the revolving research team, legal/online suppression, and contingency/response readiness.

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $2.2M/yr
90.0% probability / year
Normal year with no major incidents; routine monitoring, research, and suppression operations only.
no breaches routine operations only no major public exposures
🚨 Minor Incident $2.5M/yr
7.0% probability / year +$300K vs baseline
Localized containment incident requiring rapid-response, additional forensic work, limited amnestic campaign and short-term PR/legal surge.
single breach or MTF loss civilian discovery requiring local hush payments small-scale forensic surge
🚨 Major Breach $4.7M/yr
3.0% probability / year +$2.5M vs baseline
Large-scale breach or discovery (mass casualties or significant public exposure) requiring large remedial ops, extended amnestic campaigns, large legal settlements, and possible demolition/remediation.
mass-casualty event widespread civilian reception/exposure legal/political escalation

📋 Confidence Notes
Many line items are based on mid-range estimates provided by the analyst; costs for legal suppression, hush funds, and forensic counts are the primary drivers of uncertainty. Reasonable line-item detail exists, but unknowns (extent of remediation, public exposure severity, and whether fMRI/large imaging campaigns are needed) keep confidence at medium.
