Initial capital is dominated by an incident contingency reserve and one-time secure infrastructure (soundproof chambers, vaulting, and amnestic stockpile); recurring annual costs are driven by staff wages, clinical treatments, R&D and ongoing monitoring/maintenance.

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $1.9M/yr
94.0% probability / year
Normal year with routine operations, maintenance, scheduled treatments and no major incidents.
routine monitoring scheduled experiments no containment breaches
🚨 Minor Incident $2.2M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$250K vs baseline
Localized exposure or equipment failure requiring additional treatments, overtime staffing and limited external contracting.
localized exposure hardware/vault failure small cluster infection
🚨 Major Breach $7.9M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$6.0M vs baseline
Large-scale community exposure or containment failure requiring mass amnestic deployment, emergency logistics, and major legal/PR response.
widespread exposure containment breach GOC/third-party engagement

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed categories and ranges, enabling a reasoned midpoint-based estimate; however many items (amnestic unit costs, contingency size, frequency of breaches) have wide ranges and policy choices (on-site destruction vs contract) that increase uncertainty.
