Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $17.3M/yr
88.0% probability / year
Normal year with monthly diplomatic missions, steady operations and no major containment incidents.
monthly_manifestations without hostile escalation routine maintenance and operations
🚨 Minor Incident $18.9M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$1.6M vs baseline
Localized hostile encounter or infrastructure damage requiring temporary surge response, repairs and legal/PR mitigation.
small-scale breach or skirmish temporary loss of sensors/fence section heightened diplomatic/medical response
🚨 Major Breach $25.3M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$8.0M vs baseline
Significant escalation or breach that requires large-scale intervention, contingency fund drawdown and partial rebuild.
large hostile population manifests and breaches perimeter major infrastructure damage requiring rebuild extended legal/contingency expenditures

📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates draw from analyst-provided ranges and program-level assumptions; large uncertainty remains due to manifestation footprint variability (village → large town), policy choices (lease vs buy), and Arctic logistics which can multiply costs. Reasonable order-of-magnitude confidence but many line items have wide ranges.
