⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $4.1M/yr
82.5% probability / year
Normal year with no major incidents; routine operations, staffing, monitoring and scheduled experiments only.
routine_operations scheduled_experiments
🚨 Minor Incident $4.2M/yr
15.0% probability / year +$150K vs baseline
Localized medical incidents or experiment-related incidents requiring increased amnestic use, extra medical care and limited additional security overtime.
single Stage I/II incident extra amnestic administration additional medical costs
🚨 Major Breach $5.6M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$1.5M vs baseline
Coordinated Stage II destruction attempt or containment compromise requiring lockdown, mass amnestic deployment, substantial medical treatment and external contracting.
multi-person Stage II event containment breach attempts mass amnestic deployment
🚨 Catastrophic Breach $9.1M/yr
0.5% probability / year +$5.0M vs baseline
Large-scale exposure to civilians or cascade breaches requiring major public cover operations, mass medical care, long-term relocations and large contingency spending.
public exposure/leakage mass casualties or widescale Stage II requirement for external indemnity/relocation

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line-item ranges and clear containment requirements, enabling order-of-magnitude estimates; however wide ranges on hardware, BSL level choice, incident frequency and contingency sizing produce material uncertainty, so confidence is medium.
