⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $1.5M/yr
81.5% probability / year
Normal uneventful year with routine operations, scheduled autopsies and no major containment incidents.

🚨 Minor Incident $1.6M/yr
15.0% probability / year +$100K vs baseline
One moderately damaging Alpha event causing localized equipment damage, overtime and an extra autopsy or two.
localized facility repairs increased overtime additional autopsy(s)
🚨 Major Incident $2.2M/yr
3.0% probability / year +$750K vs baseline
Significant breach or violent event causing equipment destruction (freezers, cameras), multiple casualties, and use of contingency funds.

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line items and ranges, allowing a reasonable mid-point estimate, but several items have wide ranges (incident reserves, staffing levels, frequency of events) which lowers certainty to medium.
