⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $2.3M/yr
88.0% probability / year
Normal operational year with no major incidents; steady-state staffing, maintenance, data and legal costs.

🚨 Minor Incident $2.4M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$120K vs baseline
Localized transport or transit incident, small equipment damage or short emergency deployment; limited repair and legal actions required.

🚨 Major Breach $7.3M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$5.0M vs baseline
Severe containment breach or catastrophic transit loss requiring large-scale recapture, major facility repairs, equipment replacement and extensive legal/PR operations.

Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 12 [#13] 24/7 on-site security staffing (4 guards/shift × 3 shifts = 12 guards as example).

📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are medium confidence: analyst notes provide detailed line items, but wide ranges for transport modes, containment redundancy choices, and the object's anomalous behavior (breach likelihood and memetic effects) create meaningful uncertainty.
