⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $2.3M/yr
94.0% probability / year
Normal year with no active conversions or major incidents; containment remained stable and only planned operations occur.
no_conversions routine_operations scheduled_research
🚨 Minor Conversion Event $3.0M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$730K vs baseline
Isolated conversion(s) requiring construction of additional containment capacity, emergency response and elevated staffing/consumables for the year.
single_conversion localized_breach short_term_recap_and_quarantine
🚨 Major Breach $5.7M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$3.4M vs baseline
Larger-scale breach/conversion cascade requiring multiple new cells, large emergency response, rapid R&D scale-up and sustained increased staffing.

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed category-level estimates and plausible ranges, enabling a mid-confidence aggregate. Uncertainty remains in incident probabilities, per-cell staffing needs, and site-specific retrofit costs; contingency-dependent items (new cells, large-scale R&D) introduce additional uncertainty.
