routine operations scheduled research and maintenance
🚨 Minor Incident $317K/yr
8.0% probability / year +$30K vs baseline
Minor accidental damage, attempted unauthorized access, or small anomalous change requiring emergency conservation, short investigations, and extra counseling.
small accidental damage staff circumvention attempts localized anomaly behavior change
🚨 Major Damage $417K/yr
2.0% probability / year +$130K vs baseline
Significant accidental damage or loss of the object requiring full restoration/reconstruction, expanded investigation, and major containment upgrades.
