Expected annual
$1.0M
One-time setup
$728K
Annual recurring
$936K
Personnel
10
Initial one-time capital costs are approximately $728k driven by containment upgrades, enclosures, lab setup and contingency reserves; main recurring cost is personnel, producing roughly $935.5k/year in ordinary operations.

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $936K/yr
89.0% probability / year
Normal operational year with no major escapes or large-scale incidents; routine monitoring, research, husbandry, and maintenance.
no escapes routine research steady EVE population (contained)
🚨 Minor Incident $1.1M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$150K vs baseline
Single EVE escape or small enclosure breach requiring MTF/response, temporary surge housing, repairs, and extra sequencing/neuter/euthanasia operations.
single EVE escape wall/cage damage human procedural error
🚨 Major Breach $5.9M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$5.0M vs baseline
Significant containment failure/site overrun with multiple EVE releases, large-scale recapture and destruction operations, heavy equipment and emergency procurement.
multiple simultaneous breaches site overrun rapid EVE population surge
👥 Personnel 10 total
Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 4 [#5] Four full-time assigned guards (two on duty, two relief) trained in anomalous SOPs.
Research Scientist 2 [#6] One senior and one junior containment researcher for monitoring, experiments, and SOP development.
Veterinary Staff 3 [#7] One full-time veterinarian and two animal technicians for husbandry and medical care.
Containment Technician / Engineer 1 [#8] On-call containment engineer for maintenance, environmental control, and emergency repairs.
📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line items for capital and recurring costs, allowing a structured estimate; however uncertainty remains due to anomalous behavior, potential nonlinear scaling of EVE populations, and low-probability high-impact breach outcomes.
