⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $5.6M/yr
78.0% probability / year
Normal operational year with scheduled research, routine drills, and no major containment-breach-scale events; contracting used for heavy lift and air support.
routine_emergences_handled no_major_landscape_damage standard_research_schedule
🚨 Minor Incident $6.0M/yr
15.0% probability / year +$450K vs baseline
Single moderate retrieval results in localized infrastructure damage (road gouge, repairable erosion) and increased contractor usage for repairs and hazardous-waste handling.

🚨 Major Landscape Damage $8.2M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$2.6M vs baseline
Large-scale high-speed retrieval causes multi-km infrastructure damage (interstate-level), mass remediation, civilian compensation, and extended contractor mobilization.

🚨 Research Breakthrough Requiring Scale Up $6.2M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$650K vs baseline
Promising research indicates a path to safer/cheaper containment requiring rapid scale-up of testing, pilot systems, and contracted development.
