Initial one-time capital, equipment, and contingency setup is approximately $2.2M, driven by vehicles, communications, wristband R&D, sensors, and a contingency reserve. Recurring annual operations are roughly $3.44M/yr, driven by wristband production, staff wages, long-term civilian monitoring and medical follow-up, and ongoing surveillance/IT costs.

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $3.4M/yr
86.5% probability / year
Normal operational year with no major incidents; routine monitoring, deployments, research, and medical follow-up only.
seasonal access point activations routine equipment attrition ongoing surveillance and follow-up
🚨 Minor Incident $3.6M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$150K vs baseline
Localized containment incident or equipment loss requiring moderate legal/PR response, replacement gear, and limited additional medical follow-up.
small public exposure/FOI vehicle or comms loss single-site medical surge
🚨 Major Breach $5.4M/yr
3.0% probability / year +$2.0M vs baseline
Significant public exposure or multi-site containment failure requiring large legal settlements, mass monitoring/surgery, major PR campaign, and contingency draw.
widespread public exposure mass civilian effects requiring treatment extended media/legal campaign
🚨 Catastrophic Breach $13.4M/yr
0.5% probability / year +$10.0M vs baseline
Nation-level emergency response required (mass conversion/exposure or large-scale public panic), major buyouts, evacuations, and long-term remediation.
mass conversion or rapid public dissemination requirement for national emergency resources major legal/political exposure

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide line-item estimates for most categories, but many inputs (affected civilian counts, frequency of activations, wristband loss rates, and scale of potential exposures) are highly uncertain, producing moderate confidence in aggregated figures.
