One-time capital and R&D costs are large (multi-million-dollar), driven by EM-weapon R&D, perimeter construction, incineration/furnace capability and heavy equipment; recurring costs (~$10.6M/yr) are dominated by staff wages and ongoing maintenance, monitoring, and cover/legal operations.

Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $10.6M/yr
86.5% probability / year
Normal uneventful year with steady operations, scheduled maintenance, research, and no major containment incidents.
routine operations scheduled maintenance no breaches
🚨 Minor Incident $10.9M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$350K vs baseline
Small containment breach with localized decohesion, short mobilisation of rapid-response teams, temporary repairs and waste handling.
small breach localized decohesion rapid-repair activation
🚨 Major Breach $13.1M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$2.5M vs baseline
Significant containment breach requiring multi-team recovery, substantial equipment use, incineration and off-site disposal, and fence/structural repairs.
major breach extensive decohesion heavy equipment & incineration use
🚨 Catastrophic Breach $22.6M/yr
0.5% probability / year +$12.0M vs baseline
Large-scale, multi-day containment failure requiring full contingency deployment, major capital replacement, potential temporary relocation and accelerated R&D.
widespread breach multi-site damage accelerated emergency procurement
🚨 Political Exposure $12.1M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$1.5M vs baseline
Exposure or legal/political challenge forcing expensive legal defense, intensified PR, possible fines and extra security/upgrades.
local scrutiny FOIA/exposure legal action

📋 Confidence Notes
Many line items are well-described (fence, personnel, surveillance) so staffing and baseline maintenance estimates are moderately reliable; high-variance items (EM-weapon R&D, land costs, contingency sizing) introduce material uncertainty, producing a medium confidence rating.
