⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $4.2M/yr
86.5% probability / year
Normal operational year with routine monitoring, seizures, legal work, and R&D but no major outbreak or mass amnestic deployment.
regular seizures and monitoring ongoing litigation/cover operations R&D and stockpile maintenance
🚨 Minor Incident $4.7M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$500K vs baseline
Localized cluster or a small number of public performances causing limited spread requiring ramped up field operations and extra amnestics.
local tribute‑band outbreak targeted containment & extra amnestic treatments
🚨 Major Breach $7.2M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$3.0M vs baseline
Regional outbreak (multiple cities) requiring aerial dispersal in a region, mass detentions, and large legal/PR campaigns.
formation of multiple tribute bands across a region mass exposures via live performances regional Class‑E deployment
🚨 Catastrophic Mass Amnesticization $24.1M/yr
1.5% probability / year +$19.9M vs baseline
