⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $404.7M/yr
92.0% probability / year
Normal operational year with no major incidents; standard monitoring, rotations, research, maintenance and cover operations only.
routine_detections scheduled_training_and_maintenance regular_rotations
🚨 Minor Incident $424.7M/yr
6.0% probability / year +$20.0M vs baseline
Localized activation requiring multiple MTF responses, limited vehicle/airlift surge, extra travel and replacement equipment.

🚨 Major Breach $604.7M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$200.0M vs baseline
Widespread or coordinated activations requiring extended operations, significant equipment losses, major sterilization in urban area and elevated cover operations.

🚨 Catastrophic Breach $1.1B/yr
0.2% probability / year +$700.0M vs baseline
Mass activation or failure of detection grid requiring drawdown of contingency reserve, national/multi‑national sterilization, emergency research acceleration and global cover-up.

🚨 Political Exposure $504.7M/yr
0.8% probability / year +$100.0M vs baseline

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line items and ranges; however many items have wide ranges (esp. MTF size, vehicles/airlift procurement, cover operations and contingency), so point estimates are moderate‑confidence but subject to large variance.
