⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $2.1M/yr
88.0% probability / year
Normal year with no major incidents; routine maintenance, staff wages, research and regular consumables only.

🚨 Minor Incident $2.3M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$250K vs baseline
Small oxygenation event or microcrack leading to limited interior contamination, emergency venting, short-term medical treatment and localized repairs.

🚨 Major Breach $3.6M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$1.5M vs baseline
Catastrophic containment failure requiring box replacement, large-scale remediation, multiple casualties, legal exposure and significant public-area cleanup.

📋 Confidence Notes
Reasonable mapping from analyst ranges to point estimates; many items have wide ranges and contingent per-event costs (relocation, breaches, legal outcomes), so totals are moderately uncertain but grounded in explicit line items.
