⚡ Cost Scenarios

📊 Baseline (baseline) $1.0M/yr

82.0% probability / year

Routine year with no major incidents: ongoing guard coverage, periodic testing at planned frequency, and normal cover/legal operations.

no civilian contact no major medical incidents normal testing cadence

🚨 Minor Incident $1.1M/yr

12.0% probability / year +$55K vs baseline

Small civilian contact or equipment failure requiring medical treatment, minor repairs, and limited legal/PR response.

civilian attempts contact small guard injury equipment vandalism

🚨 Major Incident $1.2M/yr

5.0% probability / year +$165K vs baseline

Serious breach/injury (e.g., hospitalization of personnel, larger legal exposure) requiring substantial emergency medical care, replacement hiring, and expanded cover operations.

severe personnel injury civilian discovery requiring class-B amnestics larger investigation by local authorities

🚨 Catastrophic Escalation $1.6M/yr

1.0% probability / year +$550K vs baseline

Rare large-scale escalation requiring rapid quarantine, emergency airlift, mass amnestic operations, and major cover/off-site operations.

unexpected anomalous behavior mass civilian exposure need for large-scale containment drawdown
