Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $8.5M/yr
80.0% probability / year
Normal operational year with routine maintenance, no major incidents.
regular maintenance routine research tasks no breach or large-scale incident
🚨 Minor Incident $9.5M/yr
15.0% probability / year +$1.0M vs baseline
Localized containment incident requiring emergency response, repairs and overtime staffing.
robot failure cascade localized electrical/gravity spike medical evacuation or localized decontamination
🚨 Major Breach $28.5M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$20.0M vs baseline
Significant containment failure or cascading malfunction leading to large-scale remediation and regional response.
prolonged lapse in 24–48h maintenance simultaneous failure of redundant systems large-scale anomalous escalation

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line-item ranges allowing a reasoned estimate, but the anomalous, poorly-understood behavior and low-frequency catastrophic tail risks introduce material uncertainty in both one-time reserve sizing and incident probabilities.
