⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $1.4M/yr
85.0% probability / year
Normal year with routine maintenance, training, and no major containment incidents.

🚨 Minor Incident $1.6M/yr
12.0% probability / year +$125K vs baseline
Localized phasing/incineration event limited to the containment area or single corridor requiring forensic analysis, cleanup, limited amnestic use and an MTF surge.

🚨 Major Breach $2.3M/yr
3.0% probability / year +$875K vs baseline
Significant containment breach with multiple casualties, structural damage and public exposure requiring reconstruction, large-scale legal/cover-up and extended MTF operations.

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide explicit line-item estimates for nearly all recurring and one-time elements; uncertainties remain for rare catastrophic events but routine costs are well-documented.
