⚡ Cost Scenarios

📊 Baseline (baseline) $3.2M/yr

87.0% probability / year

Normal year with routine testing cadence and no major incidents; all recurring programs operate as budgeted.

scheduled night-time tests routine amnestic usage planned D-Class rotations

🚨 Minor Incident $3.7M/yr

10.0% probability / year +$500K vs baseline

One or more tests result in severe subject injury or limited public exposure requiring emergency medical response, additional hospitalizations and local remediation.

subject severe injury hospitalization and extended care limited civilian exposure requiring extra amnestics

🚨 Major Breach $5.7M/yr

2.0% probability / year +$2.5M vs baseline

Significant public exposure or major incident requiring mass amnestic deployment, extended legal defense, large-scale remediation and rapid MTF-style response.

widespread civilian witness high-profile legal action mass amnestic deployment

📋 Confidence Notes

Line items are grounded in detailed analyst ranges, but many costs (D-Class program scale, testing frequency, legal/cover operations and contingency usage) are highly variable; aggregated estimates use midpoints where ranges are broad.
