🚨 Major Incident $1.7M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$800K vs baseline
Containment breach or lost/misplaced instance requiring large-scale field response, relocation, major medical care, purchase of capital equipment (incinerator) and significant cover-up operations.

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide line-item estimates and reasonable midpoints, but several mutually-exclusive options (on-site incinerator vs contracted disposal, vehicle purchase vs contract) and contingency assumptions introduce uncertainty; medium confidence is appropriate.
