🚨 Major Breach $2.0M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$600K vs baseline
Significant containment breach requiring MTF deployment, extended operations, specialist research surge, legal action, and refurbishment.
mausoleum disturbance widespread exposure of townspeople large-scale recovery operation
🚨 Political Exposure $1.7M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$250K vs baseline
Local or international exposure of the site/cover story leading to heavy legal, PR, and relocation costs.

📋 Confidence Notes
Notes provide detailed line items and realistic ranges, but many cost ranges are broad and site-specific variables (local construction costs, land price variability, and memetic R&D uncertainty) reduce precision.
