Cost Scenarios
📊
Baseline
(baseline)
$11.5M/yr
Normal year with current containment population and moderate field activity; no major breach or mass-uncontained events.
scheduled bifurcation events
routine MTF deployments
standard autopsy and disposal cadence
🚨
Minor Incident
$14.0M/yr
Localized containment failure or partial escape requiring extended deployments, increased autopsy/disposal, temporary surge staffing and repairs.
failed cell door or protocol breach
localized riot or multi-instance assault
short-term increased field recoveries
🚨
Major Breach
$21.5M/yr
Significant containment collapse or mass-uncontained event needing rapid capacity expansion, large-scale field operations, and major remediation.
widespread escape or coordinated violent event
loss of Sector-07 operations for an extended period
rapid population growth outside containment

Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line-item ranges and operational prescriptions allowing moderate confidence in baseline and scenario estimates; significant uncertainty remains due to potential exponential instance growth, mission tempo variability, and rare catastrophic outcomes, so estimates use midpoints of provided ranges.
