⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $3.7M/yr
75.0% probability / year
Normal year with no major incidents; containment routines and scheduled research continue as planned.
no major generation events standard staffing levels regular research cadence
🚨 Minor Incident $3.8M/yr
15.0% probability / year +$80K vs baseline
Single small generation event requiring extra overtime, short-term medical care, targeted legal/PR response, and extra forensic processing.
isolated generation -> short-term detention localized medical/O/T staff surge minor legal/PR response
🚨 Major Incident $4.7M/yr
8.0% probability / year +$1.1M vs baseline
Multiple-generation wave or retention of several detainees leading to long-term housing, substantial R&D activation, additional staffing, and sustained legal costs.
clustered generation events need for long-term detention expanded R&D and medical interventions
🚨 Catastrophic Breach $6.5M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$2.8M vs baseline
Public exposure or major containment failure requiring site decommissioning, mass legal/PR response, relocation costs, and large emergency housing/medical obligations.
public discovery major breach or political exposure forced decommissioning/redeployment

📋 Confidence Notes
Notes are detailed and provide ranges for most categories, but uncertainty remains on event frequency, average detainee load, and whether property is purchased or leased. R&D and amnestic costs have high variance, so overall confidence is medium.
