⚡ Cost Scenarios

📊 Baseline (baseline) $290.5M/yr

64.0% probability / year

Normal operational year with standard incident tempo and no major multi-site emergencies.

regular incident response ongoing R&D and monitoring routine subsidies and covert payments

🚨 Minor Incident $310.5M/yr

30.0% probability / year +$20.0M vs baseline

Localized cluster of heightened activity requiring extra field operations and temporary escalation of salvage/disposal.

regional outbreak spike in contaminated-fuel incidents

🚨 Major Outbreak $490.5M/yr

5.0% probability / year +$200.0M vs baseline

Multi-city/regional outbreak requiring significant use of contingency funds, large remediation contracts and expanded media/legal actions.

📋 Confidence Notes

Analyst source provides wide ranges for most line items, many assumptions (industry cooperation, frequency of manifestations, political feasibility) are highly uncertain; several major line items are strategic policy choices rather than fixed engineering costs.
