⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $4.1M/yr
82.0% probability / year
Normal year with routine monitoring and occasional minor interventions; no major containment failures or multi-instance outbreaks.
sporadic single-instance cases routine monitoring and maintenance
🚨 Minor Incident $4.3M/yr
14.0% probability / year +$150K vs baseline
Localized containment breach or a single difficult case requiring emergency amnestics, extra transport, and short-term housing.
single containment loss >48 hours emergency amnestic deployment overtime and per-incident logistics
🚨 Major Breach $7.1M/yr
3.0% probability / year +$3.0M vs baseline
Significant containment failure requiring partial decommissioning actions, large legal/PR response, and use of contingency reserves.
prolonged loss of containment public exposure or lawsuit major multi-day response
🚨 Catastrophic Outbreak $24.1M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$20.0M vs baseline
Widespread multi-instance divergence or outbreak producing many persistent duplicates, requiring full-scale mobilization and major reserve drawdown.
multiple persistent instances loss of transboundary control mass public exposure

📋 Confidence Notes
Notes provide detailed line-item ranges but many estimates depend on highly uncertain timeline behavior, incident frequency, and scale of duplication; mid-range assumptions used for budgeting.
