⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $1.5M/yr
85.0% probability / year
Normal year with ongoing containment and no major incidents.
no new infestations regular research and maintenance routine operations
🚨 Minor Incident $1.5M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$50K vs baseline
Single, localized containment incident requiring a rapid response and limited additional cleanup.
attempted forcible entry small emergency medical event evidence processing after a discovered infestation
🚨 Major Breach $2.5M/yr
3.0% probability / year +$1.0M vs baseline
Major containment breach requiring multi-team MTF deployment, extended relocation and large remediation operations.
target escapes or large-scale infestation extended multi-site operation mass evidence decontamination
🚨 Political Exposure $3.5M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$2.0M vs baseline
Significant public exposure or litigation requiring large legal/PR expenditures and possible settlements.
media leak local authority/legal action high-profile casualty

📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates derive from analyst-provided ranges; many items have wide ranges and depend on local construction/security costs and unknown breach frequency. Reasonable midpoints were used but actual costs could vary (low-to-high) substantially if multiple simultaneous infestations occur.
