⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $1.9M/yr
73.0% probability / year
Normal operational year with routine inspections, research at baseline levels, and no major incidents.
routine_operations scheduled_research no_breaches
🚨 Minor Incident $2.0M/yr
15.0% probability / year +$100K vs baseline
Localized breach or ant swarm event requiring QRT deployment, extra repairs, amnestics and limited medical response.

🚨 Major Breach $2.9M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$1.0M vs baseline
Significant containment failure with large-area fence damage, major repairs, large-scale amnestic operations, legal/PR costs and extended QRT/MTF activity.

🚨 Exploration Year $2.3M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$400K vs baseline
Year with authorized expanded exploration/field expeditions into tunnels/connected worlds, driving up expeditionary and specialized equipment costs.

Role Count Notes
Gatehouse Ranger (Level-0) 6 [#3] Six rangers hired through SANParks to staff gatehouse and perform daily inspections.
Quick Reaction Team / Foundation Agents 4 [#4] Four on-call Foundation responders for breaches and high-risk interventions.
📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates use midpoints of wide ranges provided in analyst notes; many line items are well-scoped (fence, rangers, vehicles) while others (R&D, expeditionary surge, breach severity) are highly uncertain, yielding medium overall confidence.
