🚨 Major Breach $4.2M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$1.0M vs baseline
Larger multi-site incident requiring extended MTF operations, expanded amnestic deployment, significant cleanup and potential litigation.

🚨 Political Exposure $5.2M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$2.0M vs baseline
Public/political exposure leading to large legal settlements, loss of municipal cooperation and emergency containment scale-up.
