⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $3.1M/yr
94.0% probability / year
Normal operating year with no major incidents; routine research and containment operations continue.
steady-state containment scheduled research activities no breaches or exposures
🚨 Minor Incident $3.3M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$250K vs baseline
Localized containment incident or attempted extraction requiring limited tactical response, overtime, repairs, and increased amnestic/legal activity.
attempted extraction by external actors localized cryostorage alarm/failure limited breach requiring on-site tactical response
🚨 Major Breach $5.1M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$2.0M vs baseline
Significant breach or assault (e.g., coordinated Chaos Insurgency operation) causing hardware loss/damage, large-scale emergency response, major legal/cover actions and possible decommission/destroy decisions.
coordinated CI assault catastrophic cryostorage failure major legal exposure / public incident

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line items and ranges, allowing medium confidence; however wide ranges on research intensity, optional covert operations, and uncertain incident frequency reduce precision.
